Ep.002: Tomine Harket
In this episode, Norwegian artist Tomine Harket joins Matoma for a deep and introspective conversation about her journey in music, personal growth, and the complexities of fame. Coming from a musical family as the daughter of a-ha frontman Morten Harket, Tomine shares her experiences growing up surrounded by the industry. She discusses the pressure of expectations, the struggles of finding her own artistic voice, and how her collaborations with artists like Alan Walker shaped her career. They also explore the creative process, with Tomine explaining how inspiration strikes unpredictably and the challenges of staying authentic in an industry that often prioritizes trends over artistry.
The conversation takes a personal turn as Tomine opens up about mental health, ADHD, and self-identity, revealing her struggles with anxiety, self-image, and the pressures of being in the public eye from a young age. She and Matoma reflect on the toxic culture of the music industry, especially in places like Los Angeles, and the importance of staying grounded. With moments of vulnerability and humor, the episode highlights the resilience needed to navigate fame while staying true to oneself. The discussion culminates in an exciting plan to channel their shared experiences into a collaborative song, blending their insights into music.
