Agnes Mai – An Old Soul With A Young Heart

Submitted by Malin Ostha and Jonas Tancred

 

One way of describing Agnes Mai is that she is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Lund, Sweden. Softspoken, maybe a bit shy.

Another way to describe her is that she from her first note grabs a firm hold of you and that she will not let go until she has told you all her stories, until you feel what she felt, until you understand.

Agnes Mai – Soulful Beyond Her Years

Agnes Mai sings and plays the piano to her narrative pop songs with a lot of feeling and wisdom beyond her years. Her lyrics are often playful and written from a slightly unexpected perspective, and they can be about both the happy and difficult parts of life, taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions from joy to heartache and back again.

Even difficult things can turn into something beautiful in Agnes Mai's musical world. Agnes writes all her own songs as well as doing all her own productions, an amazing undertaking at such a young age, but when you listen her music she is writing and singing material beyond here age, with an ethereal way of presentation and delivery.

She has always loved making music, but started writing songs regularly in high school. Before that, she played a lot of covers, and was active in the choir in Lund, which has influenced her music and given her tools to create her own music. This shows in her song “Like a Virus”.
