I’d save my woolly socks before anything else

SIGRID’S vibe is indestructible. The 22-year-old Norwegian singer has crashed through a bucket list in record time: she won BBC Sound of 2018, played Glastonbury, enchanted festivals from Roskilde to Coachella and sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. Here’s what makes her tick.

What last killed your vibe?

Working in the cafeteria of the local aquarium as a teenager, dealing with a lot of angry tourists when the queue was too long. But the fish were relaxing company.

Guiltiest pleasure?

Cheesy Eighties pop tunes like Roxette’s It Must Have Been Love or anything by A-ha.

What would you save if your house was falling into a sinkhole?

My woollen sock collection. They’re practical, keep me from getting a cold and put me in a good mood.

First fear?

I grew up in an old wooden house that made a lot of noise. Staying home alone there was pretty spooky.

Wildest stage moment?

A labrador wandered on stage during a gig in Las Vegas and sat with us for two songs. He belonged to another band backstage — it can’t be an easy being a tour dog. He wouldn’t move, so we did a couple of numbers. It’s the strangest duet I’ve ever done.

Favourite smell?

The mix of sea and earth bundled up into the strong wind that hits me in the face when I land in my home town of Bergen.

Who’s your hero?

Let’s say “me”. I have to be with myself for the rest of my life, so you’ve got to like that person.

Earliest memory?

My best friend and I set up a small store in kindergarten, aged five, where we would clean our peers’ shoes with a stick and give everyone a fake tan using mud from the playground.
