‘You’re growing up. Maybe that’s it,’ he said softly. ‘Sometimes I think the world tests us most sharply then, and we turn inward and watch ourselves with horror. But that’s not the worst. We think everybody is seeing into us. Then dirt is very dirty and purity is shining white.’

John Steinbeck - East of Eden

the Glass Child - Charlotte Eriksson by the Glass Child

*********************************

When I was 18 I moved all on my own from my home in Sweden to London to create the life I wanted to live and find the person I wanted to be. Since then I've started my own record label "Broken Glass Records", produced, recorded and released 4 critically acclaimed albums, was named ”Breakthrough Indie Artist Of The Year” by Lemonade Magazine, been played on BBC Radio, played in New York and toured the UK several times. I released a charity-single for the swedish cancer-organization Ung Cancer, to support young victims of the disease, that reached #2 on the swedish Itunes-chart and has over 500,000 views on youtube. After 2 years in London I packed a bag, took my guitar and spent a year on the road. Homeless but at home because I had no destination and I just wanted to be free. I crashed on couches and went everywhere and nowhere. Spent nights on the concrete, had beautiful conversations with strangers and walked foreign streets every day. I learned how to build my home in my music and my art. When I sing or write, I'm not scared anymore. .. . A story comes alive when it's being told, and I'm now ready to share mine. In February 2013 I released my debut full-length album and in April I published my first book called "Empty Roads & Broken Bottles; in search for The Great Perhaps”. T’he book is about my journey on the road the last years, about self-discovery and what it means to live and love and lose. It’s about the belief in art and about wanting to create the world in my own way. I want to prove to people that you can become whoever you want to be, if you just want it bad enough. I'd like to show you that you can turn all those things you hate about yourself, into art. I’d like to turn everything around me into something beautiful - and that’s what this journey is about.

*******************************

 I'm messy and I'm organized and I'm still trying to piece my own self together. I can't sleep at night because how could I close my eyes when there's a whole world out there, calling my name, waiting to be exlored. I love intelligent conversations while laying on empty streets at 5am in the morning, and I love watching the sun rise over a world that is still asleep. I make mistakes and I mess up a lot, but I'm trying to learn how to be okay with that. Some days I couldn't care less about what all of you think about my art because this is my life and all I have. But then there are days when all I want is to be beautiful and good enough and someone to count on. Someone to like and love and believe in. I just really want to mean something to someone. I believe in the future, for I have seen yesterday, and I'm still alive. I laugh a lot and I believe in the beauty in small things, like the coffee in the morning with someone you love, road-trips to nowhere and oceans. I remember every single word from conversations and I have a whole box of unsent letters to myself and every person I've ever met. I'm mostly insecure, but I believe that if you want something bad enough, you can always find a way to get it. I still don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way, and I'm giving my life to this journey. I wanted to turn my life into art, my very existence into a poem. It's been a beautiful fight - and it still is.

I am determined to stand by my belief that music is bigger than who can afford expensive promo-campaigns and that you can reach out and connect with people even if you don't have a major company that pays for your success. After endless nights, thousands of emails, phone-calls, rejections and 'no's, I am finally standing by my decision to do this all on my own, to record and release my full-length, write and publish my book and hopefully go on tour, but I need your help and support to be able to do this. Your support will go to recording-gear, studio time for my next album, printing of physical CDs, printing of my book, travel-expenses from venue to venue and to print posters and flyers to promote my book and album. If the budget allows, it will also go to printing of merch, that I've been wanting to do for way too long now, but I simply can't afford it. Together we can make this happen! So let's tell the world about our existence! <3
