biography / portrait

Maria was born in Thorshavn in the Faroe Islands but has lived in Århus, Denmark since her early twenties. Even though her music is difficult to lable, the influence from the North Atlantic is evident. This is especially reflected in her natural and unaffected musicality. The harsh and diverse nature, what characterizes the Faroe Islands, has definitely contributed to who Maria is and thereby her music. (source: www.mariaguttesen.dk)
