Marita Størlsmark - Vangen Pling Plong Haugesund

Marita Stølsmark is a newcomer from Stavanger. Her music is atmospheric and melodic, blending genres like pop, jazz, soul, and gospel to create a unique and intriguing mix. She draws inspiration from artists she listened to while growing up, such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, as well as newer artists like Olivia Dean and Frank Ocean.

After years of encouragement from family and friends, she quit her job as a nurse in 2022 to fully pursue music. She wrote her first song in January 2023, and since then, she has been busy creating music and performing at various regional venues such as Folken, Pitters' Café, Ogna Scene, and Martinique.

On August 25th last year, she released her debut single "Summer Haze," and her first EP is set to be released on March 8th, 2024. Accompanied by Silas Gomes on the piano, Marita Stølsmark will grace Vangen Pling Plong with a warm and intimate concert to celebrate the EP release. This will be a performance you won't want to miss!
