5 QUESTIONS
ALICE BOMAN WHO ARE YOU?
I’m Alice Boman. Born in Malmö, but now living and working in Stockholm since 3 years.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I put my feelings into words and music.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
Because it’s a way for me to express myself and understand what I’m feeling and going through in life. And because I love to sing and to play - alone at the piano or sharing that experience with others. I love how time and place kind of cease to exist in those moments.
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
I am eagerly waiting for the release of my album Dream On that is out on Jan 17 next year. The master has been done for 6
“SOMETHING THAT WORRIES AND UPSETS ME, AND THAT’S THE USE OF AI IN MUSIC MAKING. TO ME THE HUMAN TOUCH IS CRUCIAL” months now and we have kept on working on designs etc, but now I'm so ready. I’m naturally both excited and nervous about it but I cannot wait for it to be out in the world. For people to hear it and for me to move on to playing those songs live - and also to start working on new things.

WHAT’S THE HOT TOPIC?
It’s not a hot topic really but something I have read about recently and something that worries and upsets me, and that’s the use of AI in music making. To me the human touch is crucial. For it to feel authentic. For people to be able to relate to another person - not a computer. And I know that AI will hardly take over and that people will not stop making music - so I should probably not be that worried but I still don’t like the idea of it at all. Something important gets lost. And I feels like a lot of things today are moving in the wrong direction. The debut album "Dream On" is out on 17th January on [PIAS] Play It Again Sam.
