About the Artist
Meet TC - a very Swedish female singer/songwriter TC is the girl at the piano with a lush voice and a powerful story to tell. She sings with a bright and mature voice and delivers her music with strength and bravery. She does so from the other side of an ocean that separates her from her home land. In TCs novel sound you find a pleasing crossover between Nordic folk melodies and contemporary pop. She sings in both Swedish and English and her songs leave no stone unturned in describing strong emotions - all resolving in beautiful harmonies reminiscent of the melancholy in Scandinavian folk music. TC is classically trained in voice and piano and has been a singer/songwriter and performer for most of her life. She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995 and is a current lead singer in the Bay Area bands Implied Five and Karmadogs. In the summer of 2004 TC met up with producer Ben Yonas, the man behind such rising stars as Spencer Day and King Street. He immediately picked up on the unique appeal of TCs music. Using acoustic sounds and powerful arrangements Ben treated his production of TCs voice and piano with care, emphasizing her vulnerability and honesty. The result can now be heard her debut album ¨Scent of You¨ - a creation of modern but timeless Swedish-American folk/pop music, appealing to audiences on both continents. Joined by a talented crew of musicians from her band Karmadogs TC is following up her album release with live showcases and a tour overseas in 2005. TC is inspired by the craft of songwriters such as Heather Nova and Sarah McLachlan and by the musical bravery of Björk. Comparisons can also be made with Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple. Her song writing is colored by the vibrant pulse of the San Francisco Bay Area but also by the separation of living overseas. She says: ¨When you live in a foreign country you find yourself on the outside looking in. Sometimes it makes you feel lonely and out of place, however, this displacement has allowed me to observe - and to express what I see and feel in my music. There's a great sense of belonging to be found in playing music. When I write and perform my songs about my own and other peoples' experiences I can bridge the gap."¨
