MARIE ADORA ANDERSEN IS A 22-YEAR-OLD ARTIST AND PRODUCER FROM OSLO, NORWAY. AFTER STUDYING THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAM IN NEW YORK SHE MOVED TO BOSTON, MA TO ATTEND BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC.
WITH GIRTTY VOCALS THAT COMMAND ATTENTION, SHE CONTRASTS THIS INTENSITY WITH A SOFT AND AIRY HEAD VOICE THAT REVEALS HER VERSATILITY AND DEPTH. HER SONGWRITING AND PRODUCTION STYLE CHANNELS THE FRACTIOUS EDGE OF ALTERNATIVE ROCK, THE LYRICAL PROSE OF KARPE, AND THE INCENDIARY SPIRIT OF PUNK.
FROM A YOUNG AGE, SHE WAS DRAWN TO THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY OF MUSIC, CUTTING HER TEETH ON HER PARENTS’ RECORD COLLECTION, WHICH RANGED FROM THE SEX PISTOLS TO NINA SIMONE. THIS ELECTRIC FOUNDATION IGNITED A PASSION FOR BLENDING GRITTY, RAW SOUNDS WITH HEARTFELT, SOUL-STIRRING MELODIES.
AT BERKLEE, SHE HAS BECOME KNOWN FOR HER BOLD CREATIVE VISION, PRODUCING TRACKS THAT SEAMLESSLY WEAVE TOGETHER DISTORTED GUITAR RIFFS, GUTTERAL VOCALS AND RHYTHMIC BEATS INFLUENCED BY MODERN R&B. HER VOICE – DESCRIBED AS A CAPTIVATING MIX OF GRAVELLY POWER AND SOFT VULNERABILITY – SETS HER APART AS A PERFORMER, EVOKING COMPARISONS TO JANIS JOPLIN WHILE CARVING HER OWN SPACE IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC.
HER DEBUT ALBUM, RED WIRE, SET FOR RELEASE IN MAY 2025, IS A CONCEPT RECORD EXPLORING THE INVISIBLE TIES THAT BIND PEOPLE, EMOTIONS, AND EXPERIENCES TOGETHER. RECORDED IN BOSTON AND NEW YORK, THE 7-TRACK EP FEATURES A MIX OF DRIVING PUNK RECORDS, SULTRY R&B GROOVES, AND INTROSPECTIVE ACOUSTIC BALLADS, SHOWCASING HER WIDE-RANGED INFLUENCES.
WITH RED WIRE ON THE HORIZON AND AN EVEN-GROWING FOLLOWING, SHE IS A RISING FORCE IN THE ALT-ROCK AND PUNK SCENES. A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF BLENDING GENRES AND BREAKING
BOUNDARIES.
