About

Agnes Obel (born 28 October 1980 in Copenhagen) is a Danish singer, songwriter and pianist based in Berlin, whose chamber pop weaves classical piano, strings and electronics into a distinctly intimate sound. Her debut Philharmonics (2010) went platinum across several European countries and won her five Danish Music Awards. The third album Citizen of Glass (2016) earned the IMPALA Album of the Year prize and broadened her international following. She writes, records and produces all her work independently.
