Early life

Sigrid was born in Ålesund. Her brother, Tellef, is a musician as well, and she also has a sister named Johanne.[2] During her childhood, she was inspired by Joni Mitchell, Adele, and Neil Young.[3] Sigrid and her older sister started a band called Sala Says Mhyp when she was 17; it was named after her dead cat, Sala.[4]
