Iconic Astrid Smeplass, or Astrid S as most people know her, is one of the country's biggest pop stars. Not only has she topped the charts in Norway several times, she has also made a name for herself across the pond.
It all started with Idol in 2013 where she ironically ended up in fifth place, but there was no stopping the adventure. Shortly after her TV discovery, she released the song "2AM" which really put her on the map, and has led to her having close to 5 million monthly listeners to date. Big collaborations mean nothing, because Astrid is the big name, but it is worth mentioning Zara Larsson, Röyksopp, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Matoma and R3HAB, among others. The artists are in a long queue.
Not only is she a magician with pen, paper and vocals, she is also one of the motherland's most down-to-earth pop stars of her caliber. Astrid is well known for taking good care of her fans. For example, the story of when she served pizza to everyone waiting in line outside her concert is immortal, and not least, she is a real bundle of fun.
Astrid S has been crowned with several awards, including Spellemann of the Year, performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards, and played in this generation's great Christmas tradition; "Three Nuts for Cinderella". And all this while still managing to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground.
Good girl, superstar, multi-talented. Astrid is known for her authenticity, her commitment to integrity and her ability to create experiences for the lucky listener that send goosebumps all over her body. With her unique voice and creative talent, she continues to impress and inspire fans all over the world.
