Biography

Ida Maria was born and raised in the small town of Nesna in Helgeland, Norway. She currently lives in Nesna.[citation needed]

She specializes in fiercely energetic and exciting alternative pop-punk music with catchy melodies and witty lyrics. Ida taught herself to play guitar and began performing at local concerts at age fourteen.[1]

Ida Maria gained considerable success in Norway in 2007 after winning two national competitions for unknown artists - Zoom urørt 2006 and Urørtkonkurransen 2007 - and playing successful shows at the annual Norwegian music industry festival By:Larm 2007 and 2008. Her singles "Oh My God" and "Stella" were both played regularly on Norwegian national radio station NRK P3.[citation needed]

Ida Maria later expanded her popularity outside of her native country, namely in the United Kingdom, where she appeared on Later... with Jools Holland, was interviewed by The Times, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival.[2]

In September, 2009 Ida released a remix of her debut single "Oh My God" with punk rock icon Iggy Pop singing backing vocals.[3]

Having performed at various festivals, including Reading, and being nominated for Best Rock/Indie Artist category at the BT Digital Music Awards 2008, Ida Maria has toured in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia.[4]

According to her Twitter account, she is currently recording her third album.

Synaesthesia

Ida Maria is reported to have the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia which, in her case, means she envisions colours when she hears music.[6]

‘I don’t know what life’s like without it, as I've always had it,’ she says. ‘As I’ve gotten older, I’ve seen that it has definitely been a bonus in terms of what I do. When I started to play guitar, I made this colour sheet for all the chords. I didn’t know what they were called, but I knew exactly what colours and shades they were. So I made songs with colour palettes which was really cool.’[7]

Soundtrack

Ida Maria's song "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked" was featured in episode 8 of My Life As Liz entitled "A Prom to Remember Part 2". It was played during the dancing sequence at the prom. Her song "Louie" is being used for some commercials for the FX TV show Louie. The song "Oh My God" was one of the first songs confirmed to be featured in Rock Band 3.[8]

Ida Maria was one of the co-headliners of the 2009 Perez Hilton Presents tour. On 17 September 2009, after a Boston show, she pulled out of the tour, citing exhaustion.[11]

Her second album, Katla, was released in Norway on 8 November 2010[12] and internationally on 7 June 2011.
