Saga “Starur” Björling grew up on the island of Gotland. At the age of seven she started singing, and music has always been a natural path for her to take. In 2012 she started singing with the German Medieval band Poeta Magica. Together they released the “Saga” album.
Saga met and collaborated with many musicians throughout Sweden; her homeland, and beyond. To her it was a gift to start creating music in the folkloric genre, and to play historical music from the medieval times. The harmonies of the past started flowing in her veins. Through the years she also released an album with the world music band Rotation and three EP:s with the folkpunk band Jordbrand.
Starur is the artist name and alter ego where Saga lets out all shades of her own creativity. The alter ego was born in 2021 and through it she creates music and conceptual live shows of different kinds. In her songs you can find touches of folk, americana, rock, indie, synthpop and much more. The music is connected not by genre only, but the source where it comes from.
During 2023, Starur released one song every month of the year and called it “The Wheel Project”. The songs turned into an album which will be released as an LP in spring 2024.
