👀 LIL LOOK 👀 ft. IRIS CALTWAIT
WE TAKE A LIL LOOK INTO ‘A DAY IN THE LIFE’ OF NORWEGIAN ALT-POP ARTIST IRIS CALTWAIT
Norwegian artist Iris Caltwait (born Vilde Iris Hartveit Kolltveit) is an alt-pop auteur known for her introspective storytelling and emotional clarity. Rooted in Bergen’s vibrant creative scene, she crafts work that blurs vulnerability and strength, often exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the quiet process of rebuilding oneself. Having spent years writing between cities like Oslo, Copenhagen, and Gothenburg, Iris brings a deep sense of reflection and curiosity to both her art and life. Her new chapter under her full name marks not a reinvention, but a reclamation — a return to the self with honesty, fire, and grace.
i’ve been spending a lot of time with my weird little guitar. i used to play all the time when i was younger, then almost stopped completely the last few years. now it’s back with me again, and i keep making small corners for music wherever i go
practicing with the band… getting ready for my first very own gigs in YEARS, starting November 12th in London.
meetings (sometimes also with cats!!) and planning. here i’m talking to a designer from bergen (and his cat) about something to wear… maybe on a stage! maybe on a stage very sooon
im always filming a lot. i love how a sound can lead to an image and back again. sometimes i’m filming with friends, often it’s just me, sometimes a bigger production. but the visual connection to the music is soooo important to me
also making music!!! currently working on new stuff again which is reallyyyyy exciting. new songs appearing really fast and very slowly.
i need to be in nature, and living in bergen (city surrounded by seven mountains) it’s all about making the time to do so. and it’s so important for the brain and the body, it’s a reset, and i go crazy if it’s been too long.
im in the middle of releasing my album so ive been putting up posters, making videos and trying to tell and show everyone that something IS coming i promise
