“While my dad initially bribed me with a Super Nintendo (which of course I had to partly pay with my saved up money - he's a salesman lol..), I think that I was born just with it. I always sang when I was little. For me, singing a melody is one of the best ways to communicate and express myself!
With roots in Stockholm, Linköping and Norway, Gloria is now at home amongst the beautiful nature of Sweden’s Hälsingland region. “At times, making my music is almost like I'm reading from a diary about relationships, but Hälsingland is the place where I ended up being able to focus on music full time”.
Gloria also makes music with her partner under the artist name HOUSE OF SAY. "We make a mix of modern dance that takes inspiration from the 70s disco and funk rhythms. While our music focuses on happiness and löv, we can't help to sometimes get political!”

I'm slipping away
So don't let me go, na-na-na-na
I'm all up in a love haze
So where do we go? Na-na
Just let me know that I am safe

Just like I am dreamin'
Walking around in this love haze
I wanna stay in this feeling
But let me know that I am safe
