Early life
Marie Ulven Ringheim was born in the town of Horten, Norway, on 16 February 1999. She grew up with her sisters and her divorced parents, and described Horten as "quiet and kinda boring" in an interview with Triple J in October 2019. Her mother worked with technology and her father worked as a policeman. Her grandfather could play the guitar and piano; however, she grew up without instruments in the house. While in high school, Ulven was curious about becoming a teacher before she was introduced to the guitar and songwriting at the age of 14. Ulven received her first guitar as a Christmas gift from her grandfather in 2012, but didn't start playing it until 2013 after losing interest in fingerboarding. She credits her grandfather for...
The subject matters of Ulven's music range from romance and heartbreak to mental illness and the experience of being queer. She named Taylor Swift as one of her biggest musical influences.
girl in red is the project of Marie Ulven, hailing from Horten, Norway. From beginning in her bedroom teaching herself to play the guitar and piano and to produce her own music, in less than a year the project has grown exponentially through her social media channels.Inspired by Marie’s own trials and tribulations with mental health and sexuality, her music and her character are equal in their honesty and authenticity. Influenced by her contemporaries of King Princess, The Japanese House, and Clairo, Marie's self sufficiency in her creation allows her to engage directly with her fans and produce a sound that is both raw and enveloping.
