Behind de clair is Clara Rudelius, a singer-songwriter from Karlshamn whose powerful yet vulnerable voice carries her music with a rare sense of presence. She first picked up a guitar at ten, before being drawn to the black, out-of-tune grand piano in the living room. She immersed herself in the catalogues of Nico, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Björk — artists who would become some of her main inspirations when she began writing and producing her own music.

The result is as subtle as it is powerful: a minimalist approach to indie, alternative and folk, where delicate arrangements meet open, sometimes provocative lyrics about injustice, friendship, memories and love.

Her 2024 debut, ‘hiding mountains in the palm of my hand’, won a Newcomer of the Year award and received glowing reviews around the world. An extensive tour followed, including appearances alongside Amanda Bergman, Augustine, waterbaby and Ellen Krauss. Now she returns with new music and a series of exclusive shows across Sweden.

Is indie pop dead in Gothenburg? The answer is no.

There has been a growing buzz around JOSSY lately. The young Gothenburg singer-songwriter is one of the most exciting acts to follow right now. Drawing on the best of music history, she creates fresh, modern indie music with a playful attitude.

Through her own lyrics and self-produced songs, JOSSY expresses her feelings in a way that feels both relatable and nostalgic, with a sound bordering on rock and modern pop. Raised by a musician father and a mother who introduced her to Nirvana, Kent and The Strokes, she now puts her own stamp on influences from early 2000s and 2010s pop-punk. Her distinctive melodies are hard to resist.

‘I want my music to translate well to the live stage. As a solo artist, my goal is always to bring a live band to shows — otherwise you’ll see me with a guitar.’
