I was born as a natural born feminist. I never learnt how to behave like a woman. My universe was created by women who wrote the chapters of history. War heroes and widows living in a world that was smaller than small and with dreams being bigger than big.
So I learnt that luck is not fate but it is something that you create.

And I wanted it all. I planned to become a wife, a mother, a boss … I became all of them. I built my castle of gold and I was so convinced that I paid with my soul. I was told how to be a good mum, how to make myself smaller to be loved, how to pretend that everything is right when it’s not, how to be perfect … like any other woman. But what can you do with a rebel that always did it her way.
I’ve never learnt how to comply, and I won’t till I die.

I was a strange girl. I was 3 years old when I realized that I had just started to exist, and I wondered why. I spent my weekends by my father’s grave to comfort my mother’s grief.
I used to talk to god, I used to talk to ghosts. Does anyone do that anymore?

And I dreamt of becoming a singer and recorded my songs on tape, singing about the usual stuff. Pretending that I would live a life like everybody else. But I´ve always been in love with darkness. A good girl falling for the bad guys and everything that’s strange and odd. “No limits, no regrets” … while I was pretending to be nice and perfect. I accepted that this was the way how god made me.
I saw everything in black and white and believed that it would be my purpose to live a life in contrast.

So I took every chance to learn the hard way how to not fit in. I became a bittersweet heart made of steel and a restless soul that does not belong to anyone.
And I continued to want it all. Maybe because I grew up surrounded by all that was lost.

When I finally started to perform my songs I was no longer singing about an ordinary life that I never lived but about being a rebel. My songs tell the stories of many women and how we shape our world to cope with expectations from others or expectations on ourselves. My songs are meant to cut like a knife as I want to tear down all castles we build to comply and trash all boxes that we are put in. We live so many roles – we are great pretenders, love addicts, victims, perfectionists ….. but empowerment begins with us.
Good girls go to heaven, and bad girls go everywhere.

I believe in honesty.
I believe in doing it my way.
I believe in the future of women.
I believe in the power of mothers to raise stronger women and men.

Facing your wildest fear is the best way to break free. Nothing scares me anymore. And I’d rather be strange than loved.

I’m Venus Rebel.
