Hilma Nikolaisen

Hilma Nikolaisen (b. 1982) honed her musical skills in cult bands such as teenage girl trio Umbrella, and the Loch Ness Mouse in the late ´90s. Later, perhaps most importantly, she appeared as a bass player in her brother Emil’s internationally acclaimed psychedelic noise-pop outfit @Serena-Maneesh – one of the most influential Norwegian bands of the last decade.

She has also been a bassist for the Norwegian legend Anne Grete Preus for several years, before she released her debut album "Puzzler" as a solo artist in 2016. For that she received a Norwegian Grammy Award nomination and good reviews at home and abroad. Her second album "Mjusic" came in 2019, and in 2021 she released her third album "Heritage".
