From Birmingham Roots to Brit-Pop Inspirations
Growing up in Birmingham, UK, CESIE absorbed the sounds and cultural pulse of the British music scene. Her artistic identity draws from those early influences, embracing the local essence of Britpop while weaving in a 60s-inspired brightness and indie-rock vulnerability.
She delivers music that echoes the sonic warmth of Mazzy Star, the lyrical sincerity of Feist, and the emotional sharpness of PJ Harvey—all with a signature touch that is wholly her own.
The Sound of ‘The Relation’: Honest, Grungy, and Bold
CESIE’s musical direction is both nostalgic and fresh. Supported by a tight-knit band, her live and recorded sound pays tribute to 60s guitar tones, gritty indie textures, and moments of grunge-infused introspection.
Her songs are poetry in motion—melodic tales framed by her distinct voice and the wisdom of lived experience. Every track feels like an intimate conversation, a page from a diary turned into sound.
CESIE's Linktree
CESIE marks the debut solo project of DK/UK singer-songwriter and visual artist Cecilie Nørgaard. With a refined voice that carries a quiet emotional power, CESIE opens up an introspective space in her 2025 debut album, The Relation.
Rooted in her personal journey, the album is a delicate blend of heartfelt storytelling and expressive melodies, offering listeners a raw perspective on everyday existence. It’s music that speaks, breathes, and connects.
A True Artist: Music Meets Visual Expression
Not just a musician, CESIE is also a visual artist. She personally painted and designed the album cover for The Relation, adding another layer of authenticity to the project. This crossover of art and sound further establishes her as a multidimensional creator.



CESIE’s debut is more than just an album—it’s a statement. The Relation is a reflection of vulnerability, artistic clarity, and deep musical roots. For fans of raw storytelling and indie textures with a nostalgic touch, this is a debut not to be missed in 2025.
