Biography
Hoberg was raised in Superior, Wisconsin where she has made music since she was a child beginning with cassette tapes and a karaoke machine.[6] She played in bands while attending Superior High School. She returns often to perform in the Twin Ports including Duluth's Homegrown Music Festival and FeMN Fest.[7] She also cites the area for a source of inspiration, "The extreme weather, seclusion and endless beauty makes it a super inspiring place to make any form of art.” [8]
While based out of Brooklyn, Hoberg's most notable appearance as a writer and singer was on Flight Facilities' highest charting single "Clair de Lune".[9] The song came in at number 17 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2012,[10] went ARIA platinum [11] and was later featured on the television show Grey's Anatomy.[12] It was remixed by Prins Thomas and Motez (producer) among others.[13] Hoberg's collaboration with Chris Siegel and Strehlow on 'This is How' earned her 'Song of the Year' at the Radio Milwaukee Music Awards. She has played across the United States and seven countries, including performing at Iceland Airwaves.
