So Where To Today?

‘Seriously, she was killer; blessed with a rich and very powerful voice that ran amok across a whole range of octaves, and able to counterpoint her vocals with some clever guitar parts.’ ‘Noir underground sound with a spark of light.’ ‘Mysterious music.’ ‘The Dutch PJ Harvey.’ Selma’s music is largely characterized by a feeling of melancholy, with a healthy dose of anger and fury. Fragile and powerful at the same time, she surprises with original melodic lines and changes in dynamics. Her voice with a wide range can blow you away. Edgy lyrics and captivating live performances top it off. Her music is a unique blend of genres. It combines alternative pop-noir with elements of folk and punk. There’s a hint of Mediterranean and gothic music. Together with her band she has created a sound that is both unique and timeless. Her songs are deeply personal and often touch on themes of feminism, sexual freedom and self-discovery, dealing with adversity and of course the torments of love. Her music is greatly inspired by - amongst others - PJ Harvey, Chelsea Wolfe, Emma Ruth Rundle and 16 Horsepower. Selma’s live performances are full of emotion, with Selma pouring her heart and soul into every song. She has performed for over twenty years at many festivals and venues, building a small yet dedicated following of fans who connect with her music on a deep level. Selma performs with bass player Iris van Huis and drummer Sophie Neijts. In 2025 they will release their first album together.
