- She was placed in the top 40 in the Norwegian version of Pop Idol named Idol – Jakten pÃ¥ en superstjerne.
- She released her song Bathtub in 2018 and later stated, “I’d done the singer-songwriter thing for a while and all of my friends started to get educations and stuff, and I kind of got insecure about music for the first time… whether I should do it or not… it all got a bit too much. […] I felt a bit stressed a while ago, and at the time I was supposed to have many sessions in Stockholm. After one of my sessions I retreated to my hotel bathtub to unwind, and was inspired to write the track.”
