About Rebecca Bangfield
The Indie-Pop Icon for Thinkers and Over-thinkers
Rebecca Bangfield is an indie folk-pop artist with a rare ability to make intelligent songwriting feel effortlessly catchy. Based in Oslo, Norway, the Norwegian-Greek artist has gain great recognition by combining vivid storytelling, powerful vocals, and a distinct artistic perspective. She creates music that is as emotionally layered as it is immediately compelling, carving out a unique space where earthy indie-folk energy meets Scandinavian pop.
The Sound: Where Brainy Meets Catchy
Occupying the sweet spot between the vibrant energy of Maggie Rogers and the dreamy allure of Alice Phoebe Lou, Bangfield’s music is a breath of fresh, sharp-witted air. Her sound, described as fresh and catchy indie-pop, is built on a foundation of "showstopping" vocals and "surgical" lyrical prowess. What truly sets Rebecca apart is her ability to avoid tired pop clichés. Whether she is dissecting jealousy or the rush of new love, she twists familiar emotions into something entirely her own through clever punchlines and vivid imagery.
A Background Like No Other
Rebecca’s artistry is informed by a remarkably eclectic history. She isn't just a singer-songwriter; she is a qualified school teacher specialized in 17th-century history and modern English literature. Her disciplined approach to performance stems from years of training in classical ballet, choir, and theater, giving her live shows a theatrical flair and precision rarely seen in the indie scene. Music, however, is in her DNA from her grandmother notably performing with the World Festival Choir alongside Pavarotti, and early childhood memories of singing Alf Prøysen songs paved the way for her own journey into songwriting.
From The Voice to Untangling
After turning heads on the Oslo indie scene with her 2023 debut EP, Bundle of Bones, Rebecca reached a wider audience as a standout contestant on The Voice Norway 2024 (Team Espen Lind). Since then, her momentum has been unstoppable.She has supported acclaimed artists such as Malin Pettersen, Hajk, and Bayker Blankenship, and her singles have been featured on major platforms like NRK P3 and Spotify’s "Ny Pop". Her latest project, the EP Untangling (released January 2026 via Jansen Records), represents a bold step forward. Produced by Hans Kristian Nordin and Preben Sælid Andersen, the record explores the "knots" of the human experience—the sweetness of finishing something, the clarity of moving on, and the courage it takes to let yourself be "untied".

The signing places Bangfield alongside a label long associated with some of Norway’s most respected independent artists, and signals strong belief in her as a rising voice on the country’s alternative pop scene.
Based in Oslo, Jansen Records was founded by Erik Jansen in 2009 and operates as a record label, publisher and distributor.

Bangfield’s arrival at Jansen also feels like a strong artistic match. The label has become known for curating credible, quality-driven releases from artists with a clear identity, and Bangfield’s writing-driven approach fits neatly within that tradition.

That balance is part of what has made her one of the more intriguing new names to watch.
In an increasingly crowded landscape, signing with a label of Jansen’s standing is not just a career milestone, it is also a clear statement that Bangfield is entering a bigger conversation in Norwegian music.
