For 11. år i streg uddelte Musikforlæggerne i dag Carl Priser til en række af landets sangskrivere, tekstforfattere og komponister. I år fandt prisfesten for første gang sted i Copenhagen Contemporary, hvor bl.a. Blæst, Andreas Odbjerg, Drew Sycamore og PRISMA var mødt op for at hylde og fejre hinanden.

I år kunne bl.a. PRISMA, Lucky Lo, KALEIIDO, Dawda Jobarteh, Sune Kølster, Peter Sommer og Knud Romer gå hjem med en Carl Pris – mens Andreas Odbjerg blev topscorer med hele tre priser.

I løbet af prisfesten kunne de fremmødte gæster bl.a. nyde tonerne af Lucky Lo og Peter Sommer. Også kunstnerægteskabet mellem billedhugger Anne Marie Carl Nielsen og komponist Carl Nielsen – der har lagt navn til Carl Prisen – blev vækket til live af skuespiller Lotte Andersen, strygekvartetten LiveStrings og pianist Nicolai Kornerup, der spillede nykomponerede arrangementer af Nicolai Kornerup og LiveStrings inspireret af Carl Nielsens musik

Lise Cabble modtog som omtalt her på siden i går Musikforlæggernes Ærespris og videregav den medfølgende check på 30.000 kr. til det nye danske sangskriverstjerneskud Pil, der efterfølgende spillede et par sange live fra scenen.

Vinderne af Carl Prisen 2023 er udvalgt af seks specialjuryer (inden for pop/rock, jazz/roots, score, børn, tekstforfatter og klassisk) ud fra de sangskrivere, komponister og tekstforfatterne, som de danske forlag har indstillet.

At priserne i den grad betyder noget for artisterne er dagens reaktion fra Lucky Lo, der vandt Årets Talentpris sammen med en check på 30.000 kr. et godt bevis på. På hendes Facebook profil skriver hun således i dag følgende:

I was beyond honored and thrilled to bike home from Carl Prisen last night with the ’talent of the year’ in my backpack along with a check from Tuborg fonden that I had to leave behind since it was too big for me to bring home on my bicycle.

I came to Denmark in 2014 knowing only that I wanted to create and perform music that has a positive impact on the listener, and sing songs that could just make a little bit of difference to someone. Because I really REALLY do believe in the transformative power of love, through music. This is what I think about every time I write a new song: how can this music make people happy?

To be honest, for a while now I have been thinking that as an non-danish citizen I should prepare myself to not be as included in these kinds of bigger awards anywhere. I base this on a personal feeling of being stuck in a ”in-between” world; I am not quite Danish because I am not born here / not quite Swedish because I do not live or work there.

There’s been instances with in the past where I have been categorized as an ”international act” in both sweden and denmark, which contributed to this feeling of not belonging.

I remember thinking ’who will take care of me then?’ Which is why, getting nominated and receiving this prize was a very real but amazing surprice. I was prepared to congratulate Blæst or Debbie sings, two amazingly cool danish acts that I admire so much and who both deserves this award equally to me (!).
In being named ’talent of the year’, in my own name, I feel seen for the work I do right here in Denmark, I feel included in this country that I have chosen to build my life in, I feel that my mission and many efforts has been recognized on a bigger platform.
