about
Swedish artist Birgit Bidder managed to persuade a relative to take a loan for the money she needed to record her debut album. Shortly thereafter Birgit risked everything and traveled to southern Sweden where she recorded 11 of the first songs she ever wrote, live, in a rebuilt barn, together with her band and producer Jari Haapalainen (Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt). The result is THE LIFE HOME – an extraordinary epic orchestral pop album. Due for release in Sweden and UK late 2010. Since then Birgit has started her own label Kerstin Records and opened for Loney Dear as well as other respected Swedish artists such as P3 Gold winners Deportees and Joel Alme. Birgit’s feature in the notorious Swedish hip-hopers Ison & Fille’s video for the single “Ikväll är vi kungar” has had 120 000 views on Youtube and opened up to a whole new audience for her. The program P3 Lab made her Artist of the Month in August 2009 and her first single “Parking Lot Paradise”, released in Sweden 23/2 2010, rotated for months on Swedish National Radio channels P3 and 4 and local stations all over the country, making Birgit Bidder the up and coming artist to count on. On 9th of August Birgit Bidder proudly release “Parking Lot Paradise” in the UK through her own label Kerstin Records with a video she directed herself together together with photographer Martin Norberg.
