HX Festivalen is one of Swedens free city festivals. It's located in southern Sweden in Helsingborg right next to the sea. HX Festivalen put their focus on music, workshops, food, culture and sports.
I was there for a day to shoot Shirin a German/Swedish singer based in Malmö. From not knowing who she was before the festival I have to say- I am amazed! I stayed during the entire set and really enjoyed it even thought I didn't know a single song.
Shirin has everything you could look for in an artist, a good look, groovy vibes and the charming charisma on stage.
Shirin describes herself as "an old soul" which I think you can tell from the jazzy sound in her songs. The first time I heard her sing I immediately thought of Amy Winehouse.
If I need to complain about something it's probably gonna be that the set was a bit short. I didn't take the time but I felt like it ended waaaay too fast.
But by the end of the day it was a great preformance that I'm glad I got to capture.
Shirin is definitely someone I wanna see more of in 2020!
