Ida Metsberg is a Finnish singer-songwriter residing in New York. With a background in musical theatre, her music is heavy on storytelling and unique lyricism, combined with her classic songwriter sound, fingerpicking on the acoustic guitar. With nods to artists like Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Ida blends pop and folk with intelligent, thoughtful structure and lyrics. Even songs that are more solemn and serious in tone leave you feeling hopeful and introspective. Her craft is her therapy and expression of her deepest self. Ida writes for her own healing, being able to also find comedy in her experiences (such as her single How Do You Do It? a song about social anxiety). This style of genuine rawness and passion resonates with anyone who has loved, lost, and can still celebrate life and look inside, honestly.

Ida is notable for playing shows across the US and with her unique sound and raw honesty, her show is a must-watch. She was named Performer of the Year 2023 by Finlandia Foundation National, her music can be found on all streaming platforms, and she is currently in the studio working on new music, set to be released later this year.
