Fallulah is the stage name of the young pop music song writer and singer Maria Apetri, born 1985 in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1][2][3][4][5] She is known for her debut single I Lay My Head which was the prequel to the album The Black Cat Neighbourhood. The upcoming album is being produced by Fridolin Nordsø. Fallulah's music can be accounted to the genre but according to her own statements is a mix of Indie rock and Balkan beats, which adds a hint of folklore to her productions.
Fallulah has been compared to Florence & The Machine, Marina and the Diamonds and Bat For Lashes.[6] She performed at the Start! festival and has been featured as "Soundvenue Selected" by the Danish music magazine of the same name.[7] She was national radio station DR P3's "unavoidable" at week 38 in 2009 with her single I Lay My Head.[8]
Her single Bridges was ranked as the most played Danish langued single on DR P3 in 2010, and on the 15th of January 2011, Fallulah won the prestigious "P3 Guld" award. Early in 2011, Fallulah got another major hit with the song Out Of It, which was played as the intro for the so called depression comedy "Lykke" on national Danish television. For several weeks the song was the number one download on Danish iTunes.
Early life
Fallulah grew up in Tårnby on Amager island, the southern suburbs of Copenhagen. Her Danish mother, Lillian Apetri and her Romanian father Nicolae Apetri, were the initiators of the Balkanic folklore dance group Crihalma. Therefore Fallulah spent much of her childhood on dancing tours in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe. This activity ceased when she lost her father at the age of nine years. They then moved to Jyderup in the north west of Zealand, where Fallulah continued with her dancing. At age 21 she moved to New York to start at the Broadway Dance Center but then moved back to Denmark to focus on music.
