Agnes Obel is a highly acclaimed Danish singer-songwriter, pianist, and composer known for her minimalist, haunting, and atmospheric chamber pop and neo-classical music.Born in Copenhagen, Agnes Obel began playing piano as a child. She rose to international prominence with her debut album 'Philharmonics' (2010), winning multiple Danish Music Awards and securing a place in European indie music. Known for her delicate vocals, intricate piano compositions, and self-sufficient production style (often playing all instruments herself), she has released several critically acclaimed albums. She has lived and worked in Berlin for many years.

• Obel grew up in a highly musical household; her mother was a classically trained pianist and often played Chopin and Bartók, which heavily influenced Agnes's own style.
• She deliberately maintains creative control, writing, arranging, recording, producing, and engineering her albums herself, valuing the intimate connection this process allows.
• Her relocation to Berlin was partly motivated by a desire to escape the pressures of the Danish music scene and find anonymity to focus on her work.
• Obel composes music specifically tuned to the acoustics of the room she is recording in, contributing to the unique atmospheric quality of her sound.
• She often sings in English but has also released songs in Danish, French, and German, showcasing her multilingual abilities.
