Für die auf strebende, in England aufgewachsene US-Künstlerin Ber war die Entdeckung, dass sie eine Songschreiberin ist, eine Offenbarung. Schnell stellte sich nämlich heraus, dass sie ziemlich gut darin ist: Ihre herzergreifende Single „Meant to Be“aus dem Jahr 2021 ging buchstäblich über Nacht viral. Bers neue EP “Halfway”veranschaulicht nun ihr besonderes Songwriting und zeigt ihr großes kreatives Spektrum als Musikerin, so dass mit Sicherheit neue Hörer*innen weit über ihre bereits existierende treue Fangemeinschaft hinaus beeindruckt werden. Passend zur EP haben wir BER unsere 10 Wunderfragen gestellt.
Frontstage Magazine: If, starting tomorrow, every human being could travel back and forth to any number of parallel Earths by humans, then…
BER: ooooh, the multiverse! Sign me up. I’d explore that as much as I could. But I’m pretty sure humans would get so overwhelmed by it that it would probably destroy everything we’ve ever known.
Frontstage Magazine: If you could play a gig at the venue of your choice, then it would…
BER: Redrocks. Immediately Redrocks. Final answer. I would ascend.
Frontstage Magazine: If you could trade places with a musician/band for a concert…
BER: okay but imagine being Chris Martin during a sold out arena tour for any Coldplay album. The hits, the new music, I feel like those shows probably feel like religion. Playing Viva La Vida to 60,000 fans holding lights up and screaming every word back at you. I don’t know that sounds insane.
Frontstage Magazine: If you looked at your Wikipedia entry 50 years from now, it would say…
BER: this is terrifying, haha. “Berit Dybing (A.K.A. Ber), 74, best known for her fascinations and collaborations with British Men. Notoriously overshared her way through her early 20’s. Star Wars enthusiast.”
Frontstage Magazine: If you had everyone’s attention for 30 seconds, then…
BER: I’d probably show everyone the lightsaber I just bought at Disneyland. It’s my prized possession. 30 seconds of me showing the world how sick it is. The sounds it makes! Uhg. So good.
Frontstage Magazine: If your biggest idol asked you for some advice, it would be…
BER: If Stevie Nicks asked me for advice? What? I’m not sure I’d be able to offer anything. Haha
Frontstage Magazine: If someone tells you they want to tattoo your logo or one of your song lines, then…
BER: ….then I momentarily experience some anxiety, because, permanence! Pressure! ahhhh! Surreal! But then I get really emotional. It’s weird as hell but also so special to think that someone would want to take a piece of you with them forever. I know its not always that deep but, I’m sure you understand. There have been a few tattoos, I’m honored always. All I ask is that I get to see it.
Frontstage Magazine: If you had to/could ban one song from your discography once and for all, then…
BER: don’t be mad… Meant To Be.
Frontstage Magazine: If you had to decide whether you could only breathe under water or fly, then…
BER: FLY. I’ve always wished I could fly.
Frontstage Magazine: If you could pick which country you had a number 1 hit in, it would be…
BER: England! Purely for the meme. All of my songs are about British boys. That would be iconic <3
