Then in 2003, she began studying voice at Musikalsk Grundkursus in Copenhagen. She attended the jazz meet Brandbjerg Jazzst?vne 2003?2004, where she sang, met great musicians, made new friends and immersed herself in jazz.

Continuing her 3 years of study at MGK, Sidsel also began studying musicology at openhagen University. No matter how tightly packed her program, nothing could stop Sidsel from playing music: busier than ever, she also sang backing vocals for other bands and singers,
such as Amalie Bruun and Captain Mirage.

50 years of jazz, pop and rock and delivers her own version of contemporary vocal jazz. She has a voice with an eminent power, whether she detains it or opens it up. Sidsel’s debut solo album, Sidsel Storm, was released on 26 May 2008, featuring musicians as Morten Lund, Jacob Karlzon, Jesper Thorn, Gunnar Halle and Alexander Kraglund. With this album, she received Danish Music Award in 2009.
