Stina Holmquist: Indie-Pop

At the same time closing day of urban music 2024

popNRW and musicNRWwomen* present:

Stina Holmquist's songs transport you to warm summer nights and touch your soul and heart in equal measure. Together with her band and producer Alex Sprave, she creates her very own sound, a modern, timeless indie pop music in a combination of warm indie sounds and atmospheric sounds.

Having grown up in the noisy Ruhr area, Stina has Swedish roots. The love of both and at the same time the feeling of never being at home in just one place develop an energy that is nourished by longing, daydreaming and constant rediscovery. In addition to her own concerts, she has supported German indie greats Giant Rooks and Leoniden on stage, played festival shows, been nominated for the popNRW award for "Best Newcomer" and won the Lalla:Labor sponsorship award. Stina's stories are deeply rooted in pop music and yet are performed poetically. A melancholic, hopeful and comforting indie dream in equal measure.

"Her persona is so approachable, so real - she could probably sing whatever she wants. Anyone who listens to Stina feels with her." (Strobo, 15.11.2023). "You get the feeling that this was just the beginning of something big." (Westzeit, 01.09.2022).
