Biography

Astrid S at Stavernfestivalen in 2016

Growing up in a small town (Rennebu, Norway), Astrid got into music at an early age. At the age of 16 she participated in the Norwegian version of Pop Idol in 2013, and at that time released a single, "Shattered", under the name Astrid Smeplass. The song was cowritten by American singer/songwriter Melanie Fontana. Astrid released her first single "2AM" under her new artist image at the age of 18 on Universal Music. "2AM" was released in the USA in 2015. She also released a cover-version of the single "FourFiveSeconds".

In 2016, Astrid supported Troye Sivan on his European tour and released a self-titled EP on 20 May 2016.^[1]
