A place of yearning is one where you go to find yourself. For Cedric Saga, singer and songwriter from Hamburg, that place is Norway. With its wild and romantic landscape, this most Nordic of all Scandinavian countries has laid itself like a canvas over the artist’s soul and has inspired him to write his songs. Saga’s songs tell stories. Tales of encounters experienced on his travels through the wide expanse of Norway.
Driven by mysticism and melancholy, but often with the open, upbeat optimism of a pop song, Saga’s music rings of pure Nordic indie folk. His songs run the gamut of warm, soulful ballads to catchy, rousing melodies and energetic sound explosions. The range and honesty of his voice, along with Saga’s lyrics and instrumentation, allow each song to come whole. A born baritone, Saga does not shy from letting his voice soar to soulful heights. Sometimes, his vocals are delivered with crystalline clarity. Sometimes, they pack a powerful punch.
And if you listen carefully, you’ll hear the far reaches of Norway resonating in the chords.
