Jenny Hval is a Norwegian artist and writer renowned for her evocative music, which often explores the intersection of identity, gender politics, and the body. Born on July 11, 1980, in Oslo, Hval's work encompasses a wide range of expressions from literary endeavors to musical compositions that challenge conventional norms. After starting her career with the band Rockettothesky, Hval embarked on a solo path that would lead her to international acclaim.

With a discography that includes albums like "Viscera" and "Innocence Is Kinky," Hval has consistently pushed the boundaries of genre and form. Her work is characterized by an experimental approach to song structure, lyrical depth, and an ethereal vocal presence. Among her most recent releases are "The Practice of Love," a poetic contemplation of interconnectedness and intimacy, and "Menneskekollektivet," a collaboration with Håvard Volden under the name Lost Girls, where avant-garde soundscapes underscore her meditations on human collectivity. Jenny Hval continues to captivate audiences with her thought-provoking art, as seen in works like "Classic Objects," her 2022 album that delves into the fluidity of self and the ambiguity of narratives within personal histories and societal frameworks.
