I recently discovered a great pop singer from Latvia! I have never explored this area of the world for any good female pop before, so this new artist discovery is all quiet exciting for me! She has only two albums and her second album was a huge improvement from her first! Active in the 00s.
Here's some background information on her from a sketchy official source - And one of her great songs right here for you to enjoy! :-)
"At the age of 19, young and promising singer Ladybird had released her first single "Dangerous To Me". The song is written by Marcus Granberg and Patric Sarin from Tom Bone Music Publishing (Sweden) and the video was produced by Harry Monk (UK) and directed by Kellie Cloud.
"Ladybird" was born in Latvia on 28th of May 1983. Because of adverse atmosphere in the family she grew up in a children's house since she was four years old and spent most of her time there till she became 17.
Her greatest passion since childhood has been music and singing but because of her social situation with her family, Ladybird had no chance to attend music school. The only way she knew how to practice singing was to sing along to popular tunes on the radio.
Her first steps into popular music that Ladybird had started in 1998 when she entered a competition where producers were looking for girls to form a girls band that would go by the name "Rimmel Roses". She was one of 5 chosen girls but the project never took off because of the producers' uncoordinated sudden disposal.
After that other producers company "Aktiv Music" paid attention to the new singer and offered Ladybird to become backing vocalist for known Latvian singer Lauris Reiniks. Ladybird took part into recording of Lauris' debut album and she still performs in his concerts.
The Producers' company saw Ladybird's passion for music, hard work but most of all, her great voice, and offered her to record her own solo album." And the rest is history! :)
Ladybird has a great voice and sounds like another female pop singer who I love named Meja. (A swedish singer)
