Mette Henriette

Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg, professionally known as Mette Henriette, is a Norwegian saxophonist and composer whose work delicately interlaces elements of jazz, classical, and improvisational music. Born on December 4, 1990, in Trondheim, Norway, she cultivated a deep connection to music at an early age, which led to a rich development of her unique musical voice. Mette Henriette emerged on the international music scene with her eponymous double album debut, "Mette Henriette," released in 2015 under the prestigious ECM Records label. This release garnered her critical acclaim for its intimate, nuanced approach and its evocative interplay between silence and sound.

As an artist, Mette Henriette continues to garner attention for her distinct tonal expression and the emotional depth of her performances. Her compositions are characterized by a lyrical, almost fragile quality that invites listeners into her introspective musical universe. While her work can be categorized as jazz, it defies strict genre boundaries, often venturing into the territories of contemporary classical and beyond. Following her debut, she released singles such as "Drifting" and "I villvind," which further showcase her abilities to create evocative soundscapes with minimalist arrangements. Mette Henriette's career not only reflects her talents as a performer but also her profound sensitivity as a creator of musical poetry that resonates with audiences around the globe.
