What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Kristine Bratlie:
I like to call my music style a cross over between classical piano music, film, musical and jazz. It stretches in multiple directions, often even inside one song.
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Kristine Bratlie:
I am a norwegian classical pianist that developed into a composer, curios about HOW I could reach peoples heart with my music.
My musical education is from academies in Oslo, Norway and Salzburg, Austria (the birthplace of Mozart).
After turning back home, doing concerts and teaching with classical piano literature, I eventually started publishing music, both piano, chamber music and singing.
Now I live in Sweden, in a small town called Aneby.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Kristine Bratlie:
I started to play piano at the age of 9, and had many fine years developing. But what I think gave me that boost, that feeling of joy and meaning was when I began singing (and playing) in a gospel choir at 13. I felt this inspiration from the harmonies, the rhythm, the joy. It became really a manifestation of music in my soul.

Under my skin is a singer songwriter love ballad. It`s expression is quiet but intense and longing, and is all about the deeper moment, the NOW that leaves you with all lights burned out and the power of devotion. The naked character through the acoustic use of instruments, piano, guitars and cello, deepens the expression even more.
