RIKKE
a different kind of singer/songwriter and emotional storyteller. Likes to go her own ways and started singing because of the soulful indie songs in her head that wanted out.
As an established and well-respected musician and artist in her native Norway, RIKKE has written and released six albums to date on her own Rikkileaks label, whilst becoming a household name due to her ‘day job’ as backing vocalist to some of Norway’s biggest acts such as Bernhoft, Madcon and Emma Steinbakken.
Musical influences include Björk, Fleetwood Mac, Bon Iver and AURORA, while her inspiration is drawn from her father’s record collection and the will to write for the unheard & the misunderstood. Her thoughts and ideas come together in song on the 100yr old grand piano in the centre of her Oslo apartment.
With previous success in Norway and Germany, and now signed to London’s Cooking Vinyl, Rikke is readying her next project which promises to build on her impressive career foundations and shine a light on her abilities as a unique & enigmatic songwriter who sings in full colour and wears her heart firmly on her sleeve.
