Abstract

Using Virgina Braun and Victoria Clarke’s Thematic analysis: A practical guide (2021) method and Kvale Steinar and Svend Brinkmanns Den kvalitativa forskningsintervjun (2014), the data has been structured into three main concepts: authenticity, identity and gender and focuses on each artist. The results explain that authenticity is a key ingredient to why the artists express themselves through songwriting. Through their song lyrics they express about the authenticity of who they are through identity and about the topic of being a woman in todays music industry, where they have to face sexism. This is seen through interview and through analyzing their song lyrics. This study contributes therefore to a deeper understating of their experiences as female artist and song writers in Malmö.
