Pil Kalinka Nygaard Jeppesen (born 17 April 1990), known mononymously as Pil, is a Danish singer and songwriter.
Early life
Pil was born in Farum on 17 April 1990.[1] Growing up there, she learned to play the family piano as a child. She was taught at Furesø Music School, and throughout her youth used music as her outlet in her spare time. According to her, it was never her goal to become a professional musician. In fact, she managed to study psychology at Aarhus University for a year and a half, before she started publishing songs under her own name in 2016 - first in English, but since 2018 also in Danish.[2]
Musical career
According to the music magazine "HQ Music", singer Medina played a big role for the young Pil, when she chose to follow the path of a musician anyway. According to the magazine, Medina was to become to be a great role model, which has since been confirmed by Pil.[3] Pil's debut single "Nattely" was released on 9 March 2018, and the following year, on 18 October, she released the critically acclaimed EP, "Når Du Går Herfra".[4][5] Pil released her debut album entitled, "Kom Vi Flyver, Siger Du" on 13 May 2022.[6][7] The single "Dronning af Månen" was her most played number on DR up to 2023.[8]
Pil co-wrote the Saba song Sand.[9]
Awards and nominations
In 2021, Pil won the talent project, Karrierekanonen, at Danmarks Radio, with which a talent development course followed. In October 2023, Pil was also awarded DR's "P3 Talent Award" and a prize of DKK 100,000.[10]
