Vidia Wesenlund

Vidia Wesenlund graduated from the American Musical & Dramatic Academy in NYC, and worked later as an actress in Norway for many years. When she later studied different singing techniques both in Norway and the US, she always ended up listening to jazz. Since she always compared herself to black jazz singers, and didn't sound like one, she stopped singing altogether. Twenty years later she moved back to the USA, to New Mexico, and started singing in a Celtic band. This made Vidia find her way back to her own voice, and finally made her record "Night Light" album of Scandinavian Night Songs.
