girl in red

Horten, Norway • 1999

Marie Ulven Ringheim was born in Horten, Norway on February 16, 1999. She grew up in a small town she once described as “quiet and kinda boring”, with her sisters and divorced parents. Before music, her big obsession was fingerboarding — a sport where you “ride” a tiny skateboard with your fingers. She first released Norwegian songs on SoundCloud under “Lydia X”, then coined the name “girl in red” after a crush looked especially pretty in a red sweater.
