I’m 19. I can’t sleep at night. I believe in dreams. I make misstakes and I mess up a lot. I’m having some trouble accepting myself. I want to be better. I’m afraid of not being good enough. Drink too much coffee. Believe in happiness. Everything matters. I laugh a lot. My friends are my family. I have trust issues. Every now and then I fall apart. I’ve been trying to grow up, but it’s harder than you think. I’m might find out who I am, but never who I’m not. I dance in the rain, sing along to songs, and when I really want something, I can find a way to get it. I turn everything into a battle, beacuase I love the sound of winning. This is my way of saying, I did not come here to lose. I have a constant feeling of falling, but I think it’s in the fall you learn how to fly. I get easily bored, mostly with myself. I’m not perfect. I’m made of flaws. But I believe that perfection is a flaw. I’m never as honest as I am in my music. When I sing, I’m not scared anymore. I feel unkown. I want to tell you everything. I want this to mean something. I believe in writing your own story, and that's what I'm doing here. I’m just a glasschild. I’m still creepy little me. ********************************************* ******************************************** Charlotte Eriksson, also called the GlassChild, is a young artist and songwriter who’s not humble about aiming high. Her songwriting grabs your attention right away, and she's switching between singing lyrics like poetry with a fragile broken voice , to strong and crystalclear punk-rock-vocals that cuts right through, and has been compared as a ”punkversion of Tori Amos and Lykke LI” and vocalists like Juliette Simms (Automatic Loveletters). Her music is naked and honest, and leaves you with feelings you never thought you had. Charlotte is from Sweden, Gothenburg, but has always gone her own way, leaving people amazed by her determination and independence. Only 19 years old, she moved all on her own to London to pursue her music and take it to the next level. After only 3 months she has already played at famous venues all over London, and in October 2010 she started to study professional songwriting at the Institute of Contemporary Music Perforamnce. At the moment she’s recording, producing and planning the release for her first EP. Charlotte surely knows how to make things happen, and she’s already been named as ” the one to watch” by indie-musicblogs in both sweden, UK and US.
”My lyrics might be too honest, edgy and make people uncomfortable, but if that’s what it takes to reach them, I’ll do it. I want to shock people. Shake up the world. Make them think thoughts and feel things they never felt before. Leave a scar. I want to go above and beyond what’s expected of me. I want to do this so well that they can’t take their eyes off me. I want to be breathtaking.”
