Sei Selina

​A melting pot of neo soul, rock and country.

Sei Selina's career accelerated in record time last year when she was the opening act for Aurora's summer tour, won the Spellemann award for best music video and released her debut EP.

Inspired by her Sierra Leonean roots, modern synths and storytelling, Sei Selina creates soft, soulful music in a pop format. In her childhood home, the soundtrack consisted of West African music mixed with vocal giants Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. The songs on her release Him or Her are a melting pot with elements from neo soul, rock and country.

Sei Selina has been writing music since before she was a teenager and is known for her smooth switching between genres and poetic lyrics. There is something simultaneously youthful and ancient that is captured in her music. In her songs, she gives space to feelings of shame and has also called her music a liberation of internal conflicts. In her upcoming project, Sei Selina dives deeper into the alt-pop genre in a singer-songwriter style.

'It has been such a natural process, where the songs have just suddenly come. A bit like vomit. You have no idea what colour it will be until you enter the studio," she told D2.
