CONCERT: Maud (NO)

Behind the pseudonym ‘Maud’ stands artist, producer, composer and singer Kristine Hoff who grew up in Northern Norway, where the sun almost never shines or never sets. Carefully enveloped in dreamy synths, rapid beats, and processed vocals, Maud immerses you into a dream world of ethereal pop. With lyrics echoing night time thoughts and fears of never being good enough, the artist delivers a dark and intriguing musical expression. Since making waves as one of the brightest new names coming out of the legendary Norwegian music scene, Maud’s undeniable potential has previously secured funding support from the Arts Council Norway and The Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture – solidifying her status as one of Scandinavia’s most promising musical up-and-comers and nationwide spins on NRK P3 radio and coveted featuring on festival line-ups at the likes of Øyafestivalen, Tallinn Music Week, Vill Vill Vest, Insomnia, Festspillene i Nord-Norge, Trænafestivalen and Bodø Jazz Open. Rapidly rising on home turf, Maud has also gained blog hype across the UK, US, France and Australia. Confirming herself as a noteworthy new act she has previously landed the cover of Deezer’s New Electronic playlist, as well as further editorial support from Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Dance and New Music Friday Norway alongside airplay on Amazing Radio in the UK. In August 2022 she was selected as a featured artist on NRK P3 and their programme «P3 Urørt».
