Simon Lynge

Simon Lynge is a Greenlandic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for blending folk, pop, and introspective storytelling with a unique Arctic perspective. Born and raised in Qaqortoq, Greenland, he made history as one of the first professional musicians from Greenland to release an internationally distributed album (*The Future*, 2012). His music often bridges his Inuit heritage and modern influences, with tracks like "Eqqanniippunga" (sung in Kalaallisut, the Greenlandic language) and "Dark Brown Eyes" reflecting themes of identity, connection to nature, and cross-cultural experiences.

Based partly in Nashville, Lynge’s work carries a warm, rootsy vibe, as heard in releases like *Age of Distraction* and *The Map of Your Life*. His bilingual lyrics and collaborations with artists like Emmylou Harris highlight his knack for weaving personal narratives with universal emotions. Recent tracks like "Paper Thin" and "Deep Snow" continue his tradition of crafting soulful, atmospheric tunes that feel both intimate and expansive—a fitting soundtrack for Greenland’s vast landscapes and the complexities of modern life.
