Danish/Faroese Katrina is a singer, pianist, songwriter, teacher and choir conductor.
Katrina was raised in Copenhagen with a Faroese mother and Danish father and has
strong family ties to the Faroe Islands, both linguistically and culturally. She started her
musical career as a young girl in the prestigious DR girls’ choir. In 1998-2000 she moved
to Sweden to study jazz at Fridhems Folkhögskola, and through this she was also
introduced to Swedish folk music.
In 2000 she was accepted as a singer at the Rhythmic Music Academy in Copenhagen,
and at the same time as her studies she became deeply interested in folk songs from
Bulgaria, and helped start the vocal group Vokalselskabet GLAS with a focus on folk
songs especially from Bulgaria. In the Faroe Islands, Katrina has helped start the Faroese
vocal ensemble KATA.
Katrina is a versatile singer who moves between styles such as jazz, pop and folk songs
from especially the Balkans and the Nordic countries. She accompanies herself on piano
or guitar.
In 2009, Katrina released the solo album “Colourless Day”, with 10 of her own songs in the
singer-songwriter genre. The album was produced by Mikael Blak and mixed by Jónas
