The Swedish singer-songwriter brings her unique vocals and beautiful spirit-inspired melodies to West London

Based in the countryside north of Stockholm, Fia Forsström (known mononymously as Fia) is a spiritual singer-songwriter who with her inspirational lyrics and catchy melodies has a unique way of weaving music that empowers the listener to drop deeper into themselves and find their own medicine.

Since the release of her debut album “Made of Stars” (2016), Fia has been touring worldwide and continues to touch hearts wherever she goes. She has fast become one of the leading voices on the spiritual music scene after the release of her two albums ”Legacy of Light” (2017) and ”Waterfall of Wisdom” (2019). Since then, several EPs, singles and various collaborations have taken place, and this winter she enters the studio to create her fourth album.

10% of profits from this event will be donated towards Cool Earth, protecting rainforests and fighting the climate crisis.

This event is Supported by Medicine Festival.

About Fia

Born in Kista, Sweden, Fia began playing the oboe and writing songs at the age of 10. During her teenage years she picked up the guitar and piano being part of different ensembles while attending the music program at Westerlundska High School. She released her solo debut ”Made of Stars” in 2016 independently with the support of fans, and in 2017 Fia garnered even more widespread acclaim with the follow up ”Legacy of Light”. At this point Fia was a known name in the spiritual and world music community and her star continued to rise with ”Waterfall of Wisdom” released in 2019 which wrapped up the acoustic album trilogy.

In 2020, her music was featured in a meditation app developed by the University of California Santa Barbara Center for Mindfulness and Human Potential, bringing her songs to high school students all over the US.

Spring 2021 Fia brought us a new flavor when she presented her two singles “Root” and “Faces of Strangers”, both electro sounding in contrast to her acoustic trilogy.  December 2021 she continued on the same track, releasing her EP “MEDICINE – chants for the modern mystic” , produced, arranged, mixed and mastered by Robert “Himlakropp” Eklund.

Early 2022 gave us the glistening jewel of “Glorious One” a symphonic sounding single paired with an exquisite music video filmed above the arctic circle in Sweden. September she released another EP, this time singing original chants in her mother tongue, again in successful collaboration with Robert “Himlakropp” Eklund.
