Since it is my birthday I figured that television would be the perfect way to celebrate it. Live in SVT I sang two of my favourite songs for the whole Riksdagen at their opening, with the entire Royal Family as guests among many others. I don't know about the singing skills of these politicians, they sure did not start to sing Happy Birthday to me, but that is perfectly all right. Later on this day Adolf Fredriks flickkör, probably the best girl choir in Sweden, sang to me as angels from the high heavens.

Monocle Magazine in London wrote to me the other week asking me to guest their radio podcast this week. And so the team came over to Stockholm a summery day and I sang and my band played as never before to each and every listener in the UK and wherever their radio show stretches to. You can hear it on Friday Aug 7th at www.monocle,com/summerseries.

What a wonderful June. I recieved a scholarship from my own people, via the sami organization SSR during their meeting in Arjeplog (by the way the most beautiful town in north). The prize was handed out by chairman Per Gustav Idivuoma and I felt tears in the corner of my eye when he read the motivation they'd written. Olu giitu!

2009-06-06
Du gamla, du fria... I sang in the most swedish place in Sweden - Skansen in Stockholm - wearing the sami costume, of course. I also sang Irene, that was fun. Because of the swedish national day today, TV 4 broadcast from Skansen with one hour show with the royal family as special guests among many others.

2009-06-06
Above the Skansen show, I did another tv appearance this day, Vi i Femman in SVT. But not as a competing 11-yearold ( I would have lost totally, since the questions are pretty tricky). No, I guested the show asking the competitors some questions about sami people.

A music video for the song Árvas has just been recorded. Director is talented Liselotte Wajstedt (www.saminieidajojk.se). BANGS hair studio in Kiruna did some really cool rockabilly styling. The shooting took place along the road E10 next to Torneträsk in Gabna čearru, north of Sweden. A classy cadillac, red painted lips and some cool band members on the wide open lake Torneträsk - there you have the plot.
