Outfit for Return to Wilderness video

So, I were browsing the web to find a proper outfit for the Return to Wilderness video that I will shoot at a beach and by a golden stream in June. I found this picture in one of my old favorite fantasy galleries. What ya think?

To be (or not to be)

Today it's time for tax declaration in Sweden.
I just realized I have invested 700USD in my music during the last two years (Instruments, studio-gear, computer, printing of cd's and booklets, promotion campaigns, hours/musicians, travels to gigs, postage and packing) not speaking about the HOURS (9 hours/day, everyday) and on top of that I have been working full-time until July last year.

How much money I have made from this?
Uhh.
10USD?

If it's worth it?
Hell yeah! Even if I sometimes think I'm crazy doing this.

So, once again a HUGH thank you to all of you who make it worth it, who buy my records, tell your friends about me and drop by to tell me it's not a waste putting so much effort in this.

If I'd do this even if you didn't like it at all?
Hmm.

I guess so. Haha. In the end I do music because I have too, because I love it, because my head would explode if I didn't transform the noise inside to something - usable. I have just reached a line where it's more a profession rather then just a hobby. And I have a rent to pay and a body that loves food.

So, therefor I am now working some part of my days at a Swedish radio station: www.onefm.se from June you will be able to listen over our web radio to my Saturdays show.

Also, we are trying to get our production company in this studio up and running a bit more then now, when it is more occasionally. I will keep you posted as our new website is up so you can read about our services. I'd love to help you out, as you've helped me!

That's all for today, I have to record some voice now on a friends project, and then sleep...It's passed midnight already.

Sol's wish list for birthday

I have done some research on the web for dresses to wear on tour and also for a 50th-inspired video we will shoot in June =) Since it is kinda boring for you to donate money for my music, I thought maybe you'd consider adding something to my wardrobe instead? That will make me think about you everyday I wear that particular dress =)

Here's a store I adore!

http://www.unique-vintage.com

My Size: Medium: Bust 36 (35)". Waist 30". Free Hips. Length 47". Size 6/8

These are dresses I LOVE!!!! (If you buy me one, or donate part of it, I will shoot a photo of myself in it, sign it and send it to ya as a private gift)

Thanks!!! (Oh, you find my address in my contact-section...)

/Sunny

Oh, and here's some of my favorites; really couldn't care less about color, black, red, chocolate, lilac, ivory, pink or blue is fine! I wear everything. But I'd prefer some color instead of black...

Flirty swing dress
Or simply browse for "flirty swing dress".

Hyysch, Oh I have too!

I just have to make some buzz, some little WEEEEEEEEEEBAPELOBA!

If I could send a small love-letter to myself, back in time, this would be it
That is ME, over there

Don't let ANYTHING or ANYBODY tell you to give up on the things you love to do
Stick with it 'til you go nuts and your friends call you insane =)

Make love, love a lot, love yourself and have faith in what you do!

Some of my songs

Press clippings

"This female musician has an incredible international appeal that is downright contagious." - Skopemag

"The tracks may do well on the pop tracks, but there is something much more deep and meaningful to the tracks on “Swimming Without Webbed Toes”" - Neufutur

"Swimming Without Webbed Toes is an album that is a must-add to one's music collection to totally experience Skugga's compositions and talents on all levels, as well as watch out for her follow-up work" - Indie music stop

"Skugga's songwriting achieves a lyrical balance that comes across as Euro-pragmatism—a blend of youthful naiveté and cutting brutality"
"She has an impressive vocal range..."- caughtinthecarousel

"Overall it feels beautifully dark with Sol’s classical voice pouring like a clear trickle through the mellow ambience, whether it’s a folk-inspired piece or a more dense goth-inspired music. The electronica forms the base of the music, but a great interplay with foremost brilliant guitars and violins creates nice contrasts." - Meadow music

"This girl has what it takes." - Ravenheart music
