Ida Engelgaar Laurberg (born 2000) is a Danish singer and songwriter. She has released one studio album with two top 10 hits in the Danish charts, receiving two awards from the Danish Music Awards as a result.
Career
[edit]Laurberg grew up in the town of Helsinge,[2] Denmark, where she attended a private Christian school during her youth. She attributed developing anxiety as a result of her time there due to bullying from classmates, as well as teachers.[3] However, one teacher did encourage her to pursue becoming a musician after hearing her play, which she cited as an influence.[3] After graduation from school, she moved into an apartment in Copenhagen, which led to her first solo performance at a local outdoor venue, Byhaven.[3]
At age 16, Laurberg released her first single "Puppy Dog Eyes" on 8 November 2016.[3][4] Four years later, she released her debut EP titled, Phase Five.[5][6] Released on her own record label, the EP received positive reviews and drew comparisons to Billie Eilish,[7] whom Laurberg cited as an inspiration for her own music.[8]
Her debut studio album was released on 21 August 2020, entitled Bænkevarmer (lit. 'Bench Warmer').[9] The first single from the album, "Terrier", reached number six on the Danish charts.[10] The song covered topics surrounding mental health, including self-harm.[9] The second single released from the album "Jeg ka' rigtig godt li' dig" increased her profile higher in the music scene,[11] ultimately receiving an award for "Danish Hit of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards, alongside Andreas Odbjerg who featured in the song.[12][13] The song has reached number two on the Danish charts,[10] and the duo has performed the song at several festivals, including Roskilde Festival in 2023.[14][15] In addition to the awards, the song reached double platinum-certification by IFPI Danmark.[16]
Personal life
[edit]Laurberg has been diagnosed with both anxiety and depression, and has stated on several occasions that both play a factor in her creative process for writing music.[3][17] In 2023, she was diagnosed with ADHD. She sought out a diagnosis following conversations with her then-boyfriend, as well as trying ADHD medication.[17][18] She has stated that she wants to use the platform afforded to her through music to create openness about mental health.[9]
