Girl in Red is the project of Marie Ulven, 20, hailing from Horten, Norway. Starting in her bedroom, teaching herself to play the guitar and piano, and producing her own music, the project has grown exponentially in less than a year. It has caught the attention of tastemakers from Fader to Sirius XM XMU and KEXP/Seattle. Inspired by Marie's own trials and tribulations with mental health and sexuality, her music and character are equally honest and authentic. The New York Times has quoted Marie as "one of the most astute and exciting singer-songwriters working in the world of guitar music, with a laser-like melodic instinct that verges on the primal, and lyrics that capture the sweat of real life."
