about
Heidi Mortenson grew up listening to the metallic sounds of her dad fixing cars in the garage and her mum playing the organ. Her first audio modulations began on a small cassette player, La Bamba was a favorite. As a teenager Heidi moved to Barcelona where she continued to develop her interest for music. In Barcelona Mortenson began experimenting with recording herself singing inside a washing machine, rebuilding a telephone receiver into a microphone, hooking up with a walkie-talkie system. After playing her very first concert Heidi was nominated Resident Artist 2003 at the experimental LEM Festival in Barcelona. She then packed her bags and went on a European tour with visual artist SOLU, with whom she later performed the Opening Act of Transmediale Festival 2004 in Berlin. Entitled as a OneWomanBand Heidi then moved to Berlin and began recording her debut album Wired Stuff. She also iniciated a small series of events called Wired Nights for colaboration concerts and trying out new ideas with fellow Berlin musicians. The record label Wired Records was founded by Heidi in 2005 when she released Wired Stuff with money she had received from a fund. She has since toured Canada and the US east and west coast with two album releases. The danish music magazine Geiger selected her album Don't Lonely Me as one of the 100 Best Albums of 2007 and the song Hurt Machine features on the popular american TV series The L Word in season 6.
