FeatherShield is a voice that shouldn’t really exist, and yet it does. The person behind it has worked as a psychologist for many years, in her own practice and in various other settings. She draws inspiration from her life and her work. Many of the texts had been sitting on the shelf for years: as essays, poems, book ideas, or simply pieces of writing. She has been writing since childhood, initially mostly for herself. Now, those texts have finally found a place of their own.
She writes from different perspectives, with one central theme running through them all: the human being. How we relate to one another, to the world, and to ourselves. These explorations give rise to different projects in which words and music come together.

She is not a musician. First and foremost, she is a writer who creates lyrics in which stories, observations, emotions, and thoughts find their own voice. Music has become a way of giving those texts a life beyond the page. Along the way, she explores different languages and the distinct atmosphere each one brings with it.
At the intersection of psychology, poetry, and music, FeatherShield uses artificial voices to bring the texts to life and explore different musical worlds. Worlds where identity begins to shift, systems fall short, and meaning becomes unstable. The songs move between distance and intimacy, control and surrender, memory and imagination.

The artificial voices are not the end goal. They make it possible to explore, hear, and develop the songs in the form of demos.

But ultimately, the lyrics are at the heart of it all.
That is why FeatherShield is looking for singers, musicians, and bands who want to give these songs a voice of their own and bring them to the stage.

Collaborations with other writers are, of course, welcome too!

Do you write, sing, play in a band, or already hear one of these songs coming to life on stage? Get in touch.
