In New York, she was granted a place in two-year-degree Voice Embodiment, for professional singers and singing teachers. Sidsel and Malene Mortensen recorded backing vocals for the Homeless Football World Cup. Sidsel Storm has taken the best from the last 50 years of jazz, pop and rock and delivers her own version of contemporary vocal jazz. She has a voice with an eminent power, whether she detains it or opens it up.
Sidsel’s debut solo album, Sidsel Storm, was released on 26 May 2008, featuring musicians as Morten Lund, Jacob Karlzon, Jesper Thorn, Gunnar Halle and Alexander Kraglund. With this album, she received Danish Music Award in 2009.
