Finland is known for being one of the happiest places in the world and a place of clean, pure, natural beauty. It's no surprise that Ida Metsberg, native to the land, brings deep, meaningful, vibrant, and nourishing energy through her songs. Now calling New York her home, the singer/songwriter has been bringing her light and unique perspective to the city streets and leaving people with a memorable, and lasting impression.
With nods to artists like Sara Bareilles and Anna Nalick, Ida blends Pop and Folk with intelligent, thoughtful structure and lyrics. Even songs that are more solemn and serious in tone leave you feeling hopeful and introspective. Her craft is her therapy and expression of her deepest self. Ida writes for her own healing and at times to speak her piece to people that have hurt her. This style of genuine rawness and passion resonates with anyone who has loved, lost, and can still celebrate life and look inside, honestly.
Ida is notable for playing shows across New York City, as well as all over the US, and with her theater background, her show is a must-watch. Her debut EP, Somebody New, was released in 2022, and she is currently recording new music, to be released later this year. Ida was nominated Performer of the Year in 2023 by Finlandia Foundation National.
