Becoming who we are takes years. Our personality develops long before we're aware of it. Some of us are more comfortable with ourselves than others, but generally, we understand our own identity and hope that we grasp how others perceive us - that part can be a challenge. Given the chance to be someone else, who would you choose? How would you be different? What rules would you break if you weren’t yourself?
In music, alter egos are common. Bowie’s Ziggy and The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper Band are famous examples. Today, newer artists, like Aiden Berglund, explore their art without the name they were ascribed at birth. Aiden, under the pseudonym Grimson, has recently released his debut album, Climbing Up the Chimney. The record blends rock and roll with a touch of the baroque.
Join me and Aiden in Germany as we delve into his past and how it shapes his present. It’s a chance for him to reveal the person behind the performer, to shed light on his new album's songs and his creative journey. Perhaps you will be inspired to consider who you would become if you were someone—or something—else. That other you might be a more significant part of you than you realize.
