Who is iris mar?

iris had a musical upbringing 100 meters from the sea in Frosta, Norway, and has spent her 20's pursuing her artistry and working as a baker in Berlin.

She has been performing live shows and connecting with audiences for years. The multi-instrumentalist sings in weddings, bars, theatres and gardens, sometimes with her fiddle and usually with her silver resonator guitar or her red electric. She has roots in nordic folk music and is trained in Complete Vocal Technique.

In her solo project iris mar, she pours her heart and soul into a world that is her very own.

She is also part of Lausonga, a duo with Hans Mikkel Melhus, strumming strings and singing harmonies in Norwegian.
Shaken Baby is her experimental project with Conor Cunningham, where rhythmic fiddle and effected saxophone meets poetry in Norwegian.
She composes music for dance performances and film.
Iris has previously released two singles, Sleeping Beauty (2020) and Sunshine (2021) with her project Marie Mill.
