Approved: Konni Kass

Konni Kass

Konni Kass began her career as a professional musician as a teenager in the Faroe Islands. Supply and demand worked in her favour in a country where everyone seems to be in a band but she was one of the few who could play saxophone.

After time spent in education, first studying jazz and currently medicine, she formed a band to perform her own songs last year, and released her debut single ‘Surrender’ earlier this year. Two more – ‘Sounds’ and now ‘Time’ – have followed, in the run up to the release of her debut album in November.


Kass’s music is based in soulful pop, but tends to take unexpected turns that set her apart from her contemporaries. On ‘Time’ in particular, as the music shifts gears into something more like dance music, the tone of her voice also changes, as if fragile cracks suddenly repaired themselves.
