The following is taken directly from the description of Nelson’s official music video for Shoot You Down.

Born a California girl but formed into a Swede.
I started young with my infinite puzzling of words. It always fascinated me how big a difference one tiny worn out word could make.

The year was 1997, I was three and lived in LA. My daily routine was to pack my tiny bags with even smaller things. I put on a few too many layers of my favorite clothes, on a sunny and warm day in the Valley. My mandatory pink fairy wings were always slung on my back as I headed out towards our lemon tree. There I sat, day in and day out as a pale, almost see through little fairy, singing at the top of her lungs about whatever popped into her mind.

I first moved to Sweden in 2000 and still remember how confused I was over the fact that my mother was going to let me roam around in the forrest on my own. On my own?!
From the day I started exploring, free and alone, my love towards the calmness of nature grew so strong. The constant sound of sirens, buzzing traffic and polluted air of LA were no more. I fell in love with the nature, calmness and fresh air of Sweden. I had bruised legs, freckles and smelled of pine trees from all my forest adventures. Winter came and it took me a long time to get used to the darkness.“Is it bedtime yet, mama?”, I said peeking out into the pitch black at 5 pm. The crisp cold and cozy lack of light, however, also grew strong in my heart.

I started writing books when I was 14 and as any child something inspired me, I wrote until my hand ached, got bored and moved on to my next masterpiece. This turned into poetry when I was 17 and I immediately found myself at home in that world. When summer arrived I sat in the sun yet again, this time 19 years old, and it hit me that I could combine my poetry with melodies. From that day on I was obsessed.

Music is the only true thing mankind has created on this earth. Electricity existed, heat and cold existed, every mineral and all nutrients in nature existed. Everything was here for us to take part in and evolve with. Music is our mutual creation that we share with the universe. They say the inception of the universe began with a sound, a tiny tone. This is the sound I live for today. I am a single seed in time, as are we all. Life is an ever-changing variable. Music is and will always be a reliable constant. This is why I plant my seed in music and let it grow wherever it may.

So here we are, my first EP.
Behind the catchy melodies and thick music, lay my thoughts. Thoughts of life, where we live, how we choose to live and why.
People who know me would say that I contemplate to much, but also that I contemplate to little. The truth is, life is such a mistery to me, feelings confuse me and people facinate me. I have absolutly no idea who I am from day to day. Every time I set foot in the studio I try to put a mirror on my diffused emotions. I would say that I learn more and more about myself for every song, as if my body is guiding me towards clarity.
With that said, I hope my music either brings you joy, or as it has for me, done that and clarified a fraction of life to lean back on and wait for the rest.
