Selma French is a Norwegian singer, composer and fiddle player. In August she is releasing her solo debut "Changes Like the Weather in the Mountain", consisting of her songs wrapped in electric guitar, wurlitzer, fiddles and some high-pitched choir voices. Selma's music reveals an admiration for Norwegian and English folk music, as well as containing an airy energy from somewhere unknown moving from an open space like big mountain into the hidden rooms in one's heart.

Selma is already known in the folk-scene in Norway as a member of bands such as Norwegian Grammy nominated Masava and Norwegian Grammy winner Morgonrode. She has toured and worked with artists like Frokedal & Familien, Kristian Kristensen, Siv Jakobsen and the Switch. Her musical work has been acknowledged by many, lastly featured as the theme song in the Viaplay series Furia.

Growing up in the suburban university town of As, Selma French was exposed to folk music from an early age, playing violin and Hardanger fiddle all her life, as well as making songs on guitar. The list of musical inspirations is long, from Linda Perhacs, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention and Judee Sill, to Frokedal, Susanne Sundfor, Sandy Denn and The Roches.
