Under the artist name Swing Ida Gunge creates catchy pop music with honest lyrics about a young life and all that it entails. Her debut release, 'Ambulance', has had a flying start with great lyrics, playlist placements and radio plays. Now she announces her first headliner concert at VEGA's Ideal Bar in Copenhagen.

Drawing on personal experiences from a bittersweet and turbulent youth, Gunge writes honest songs in Danish, carried forward by a quirky and figurative language that contains both melancholy and self-irony. Gunge started her music career in a small, stuffy basement studio in Østerbro. In meeting a hip-hop collective who wanted to use her for hooks, Copenhagen-based Gunge found out that not everything in music had to be polished, and that a box of red wine and home-rolled cigarettes can also belong in a good pop hook.

Later, she found a musical collaboration in co-producer and artist Daniel Joy, who could reflect her fascination with pop music in a version that could be just as hard-hitting and emotional as hip-hop.

With her debut release 'Ambulance', Gunge conveys and visualizes a classic youth scenario of being chosen for someone else, set in the streets of Copenhagen. The single has received radio airplay, playlist placements and great reviews from, among others, Politiken and Soundvenue, the latter of which described the song as "an ear-catcher of the kind you can't go wrong with".

Gunge has previously performed at Byhaven and as Support for Ella Augusta, but the concert at Ideal Bar will be her first as a headliner. With her honest songwriting and characteristic vocals, there is no doubt that the audience can expect a special experience when Gunge takes the stage.
