MUSIC / POETRY / EVENTS / Graphic Design
This site is my summarised online CV and portfolio for my various work in music, performance poetry, events and graphic design. You find my live feed of Instagram and dizifinland-artistpage on Facebook on this site too.
While you’ll get a nibble of taste of my graphic design on this site my real portfolio for such is found on ertrudsgn.myportfolio.com/projects and you can also check out my ertru insta and ertru FB.
Detta är mitt samlade CV och online-portfolio för de olika kreativa verksamheter jag utövar inom musik, estradpoesi/spoken word och grafisk design samt illustration.
Sidans innehåll kommer översättas också till svenska och finska bara kalendern öppnar tid för det – men olika exempel i form av bild, video och musik finns på tre språk: svenska, finska och engelska.
Tämä on yhdistelmänä toteutettu CV ja online-portfolio eri taiteenlaijeista jotka kuuluvat toimintaani: musiikki, lavarunous/spoken word sekä graafinen suunnittelu & kuvitus.
Sivun sisältö on tällä hetkellä luettavissa vain englanniksi. Kun kalenterini sen suo niin sivun sisältö käännetään myös suomeksi ja ruotsiksi.
Video-, kuva-, ja musiikki-materiaalia sivulta kuitenkin löytyy erikielisinä tai linkattuna.
Melinda “DIZI” LONNBERG PRESENTATION:
I have been an active musician and performing artist for most of my life, mainly known for my contribution to the hip hop and poetry scene in southern Finland, Raseborg. Rapping, singing and making performance poetry and poetry slam known in the region by organising jams, slams and workshops is a path I feel content walking on.
Blending styles and genres to express human emotion and information, I aim to look behind stereotypes and also address difficult issues.
In my music and poetry I express myself in Swedish, English and Finnish.
Born and raised in the woods of Kylmälä, and now a resident of Raseborg.
Besides music and performance poetry I also host events, panel discussions or interviews and MC :
To mention some:
- Raseborg PRIDE Raasepori 2018
- Vasa LittFest 2018 “Kirja joka muutti elämäni / Boken som förändrade mitt liv”
- Ekenäs Filmfest 2016; interview with Ahmed Alalousi and artist Johan “Qruu” Kvarnström at Kulturhuset KARELIA Kulttuuritalo.
