**Jenny Rossander** (born 27 January 1990), known [professionally](/source/Stage_name) as **Lydmor** (ˈlyːdmoːɐ̯), is a Danish singer-songwriter.

## Early life

Jenny Rossander was born in [Aarup](/source/Aarup), Denmark, on the island of [Funen](/source/Funen).[1] She and her sister were raised by a single mother.[2] At age 14, she moved to [Struer](/source/Struer) before attending [boarding school](/source/Boarding_school) on [Langeland](/source/Langeland).[1] She later moved to [Aarhus](/source/Aarhus) at age 17 to finish high school, after having previously dropped out.[3] She worked several jobs during her half-year away from school, including cleaning jobs and a call center position.[3]

While living in Aarup, Rossander began writing songs at age 14.[4] After finishing high school at [Århus Statsgymnasium](/source/%C3%85rhus_Statsgymnasium), she purchased her own studio equipment, including a microphone, [audio interface](/source/Audio_interface), and keyboard.[3] After beginning to make songs at home, she began making electronic music at Frontløberne with a group.[3] She explained in an interview that during her time at Frontløberne is when she received the name Lydmor (lit. 'sound mother') after frequently recording demos for other artists for free.[3] As Lydmor, she played her first concert at Viva lá Revolution in [Aalborg](/source/Aalborg).[3]

## Career

Alongside Bon Homme, Lydmor released the collaborative album *Seven Dreams of Fire* on 6 November 2015.[5] The duo debuted the song "Dream of Fire" with the release of a music video.[6]

Lydmor, in 2016, left Denmark and moved to [Shanghai](/source/Shanghai), where she lived for six months.[7] She later admitted that following the release of *Y* in 2015, she found her music and persona as a musician "boring."[8] Her next album, *I Told You I'd Tell Them Our Story* released in September 2018, which featured Shanghai on the cover.[9][8] The album received generally positive reviews.[10]

On 22 February 2018, at the annual [*Gaffa* Awards](/source/Gaffa_(magazine)#GAFFA_Awards), Lydmor performed during the show. She made her appearance entirely nude, wearing fluorescent paints while performing under a [blacklight](/source/Blacklight).[11] The fluorescent paint remained a part of her performances during her 2018 concerts.[8] Due to her appearance at the *Gaffa* Awards, she admitted being sent a letter directly from a German TV show where he was scheduled to perform, reminding her to dress "appropriately."[8] In June, taking the place of [Susanne Sundfør](/source/Susanne_Sundf%C3%B8r), Lydmor performed at the 2018 [NorthSide Festival](/source/NorthSide_Festival_(Denmark)).[12]

On 29 May 2020, *[Gaffa](/source/Gaffa_(magazine))* published an article written by Lydmor.[13] In the article, she took aim at *[Ekstra Bladet](/source/Ekstra_Bladet)* writer Thomas Treo.[14] The article gained traction amongst Danish media outlets, leading to a television debate between Lydmor and *Ekstra Bladet* editor-in-chief [Poul Madsen](/source/Poul_Madsen).[15] Her article discussed Treo's writing, which Lydmor described as "sexist" in the ways Treo described female artists.[15]

Lydmor's experience after writing the article carried to her next album, *Capacity*, released in 2021.[14][16] The album discusses the effects of speaking up about sexism, gender, and equality.[14] The album became the first of her albums to reach the [Hitlisten](/source/Hitlisten) charts, peaking at number 26.[17] *Capacity* went on to secure two awards at the 2022 [*Gaffa* Awards](/source/GAFFA_Awards), winning Danish Electronic Release of the Year and the HiFi Award.[18]
