Malin VerheijSE

Malin Verheij was born in the Netherlands, but moved to Borås, Sweden at the age of twelve. Surrounded by a new language, she struggled to fit in - an invisible wall seemed to separate her from the world. She found refuge in writing lyrics and playing music, expressing her emotions and thoughts by putting words in the right order and getting them onto paper. A few years ago, she moved to a red cabin outside Jokkmokk, experienced heartbreak, and emerged transformed. Though she had planned to quit music, it wouldn't let her go, forcing its way back into her life. After buying her first real upright piano, she began writing again - at first just for herself, like intimate diary entries, but soon, she had a collection of songs that needed to be heard beyond the cabin walls. The result was an EP T_o Cry For, To Lean On, To Love_, carefully produced by Frithiof Stenvall with raw, live takes and minimal overdubs.
