On 12 October, the documentary series "URBI - just do it!" was launched. in Norwegian NRK. The series follows four young artists from Sápmi who are at different stages in their careers but who share the same dream: to make it big. One of them is Umeå artist Natalie Carrion.
For a whole year, Natalie Carrion and three other determined Sami artists have been followed by a Norwegian documentary team. The aim has been to get an insight into each person's personal journey and see the hard work it takes to succeed in the music industry. The series is currently in the news as it premieres on Norwegian TV.
- For me, it feels like a gift to have a whole year documented by a TV crew and the special time behind it. I hope that those who already know me will get a deeper insight into who I am and that new people will be interested in my music and the values I stand for," says Natalie Carrion.
Natalie, who hadn't seen the series in its entirety before the Norwegian premiere, is very pleased with the result - especially since the Sami language has been given such a natural place.
- I was very touched after looking through everything. I think they managed to create something genuine that both reflects the everyday struggles we face as artists and highlights the Sami heritage and how it expresses itself to us in different ways," says Natalie.
Currently showing "URBI - just do it! / URBI - Do it!" on the Norwegian national channel NRK TV and later the documentary series will also premiere in Finland.
- Participating in the series is an important step in the international venture I'm on right now. The hope is that this will result in further steps towards my goal of becoming an established world artist," says Natalie Carrion.
