Kamil) Hey Christina Winterfell, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What first got you into music?

Hi Kamil, thank you for taking time to chat with me.

I started very early in age in schools and also performed in competitions. When I was 20, it really started when I became a singer in a group and then started performing a lot in Stockholm and other places in Sweden and abroad. We released singles and had fun.

Your latest song is 'Life at the Top'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?

The process was very luxurious for me. I was given a directory of great songs by great songwriters to choose from. My first choice fell on Life at the Top for the comeback. Because that’s how I feel now.

Also collaborating with my producer Niklas Bergström, Nox Studios that I collaborated with last year was amazing and so easy and the result was better than expected. We did som exciting chasing during the process.
