His real name was Mogens \u00d8rsted and since my name is Karen Marie \u00d8rsted, I figured I should sign my music with the same initials.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who were your early influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before I got a ghetto blaster, I listened to my parent\u2019s records &#8211; namely Sam Cooke, Billie Holliday and The Beatles. The first record I ever owned was the Spice Girls\u2019 first album and they inspired me to be a musician. Then I became a punk. Sonic Youth became, and still are, the undefeated heroes of the soundtrack of my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What music are you listening to now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t listen to much music \u2013 at least not when I\u2019m on my own. I get too distracted since I have such a soft spot for it &#8211; I want to focus on my own music these days. But to name a few of my favorite acts, it would be Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nico, MS MR, Major Lazer, Bonobo, Portishead, Billie Holliday, Nirvana, The Doors and so on..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve been touted as the \u2018new\u2019 Grimes. What do you make of this majestic title?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very honored. I love her music and attitude but I don\u2019t think our sound is very alike. I do think we have some things in common in a way &#8211; at least I hope so \u2018cause she\u2019s way cool\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can we expect from one of your live sets?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think you can expect a lot of energy and intensity. A little madness and some good tunes and sounds for your ear if everything works out as it should.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What would be your dream gig?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A gig on a big stage close to the ocean AND the mountains at the same time. A red sky, summertime and some great vibes\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re creating music at a time of great commercial success for Scandinavian musicians. What do they put in the water over there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They feed us ancient melancholic drops from the north, which float from the mountains and into our taps. Not sure there\u2019s anything special about it, but I\u2019m glad people are liking Scandinavia right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s talk about the composition process: how do you go about writing your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I write almost all my songs on my great grand-mothers old piano. Then I record all the vocals, choirs and so on and send it to Ronni Vindahl of No Wav who\u2019s my main producer. He then arranges and produces the vocals and we finish it together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have plans for an album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes \u2013 I\u2019m busy working on it right at this moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where would you like to see yourself by the end of 2013?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Touring the world. Sold out concerts. NME front cover. The greatest album ever\u2026. Pretty standard dream scenario.<\/p>\n<p><em>M\u00d8\u2019s single Pilgrim is out in the UK now on Chess Club Records on 25th February.
