About

Idun Carling is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and variety artist with roots in the older styles of jazz.

She grew up in Sweden and toured all over Europe with her family band from a young age.

They predominantly played “revival trad-jazz” and even featured circus and variety acts in their shows, where Idun Carling could be seen doing a balancing act.

Now she is making a name for herself in the Los Angeles area within the world of music.

Her most popular album release on Spotify is “IDUN” which features Gunhild Carling on the trumpet and trombone, Billy Stritch on the piano, Chloe Feoranzo on Clarinet and Saxophone, Luca Pino on guitar, and Daniel Glass on drums.

She has also released an album called “Blue Salvia” that is completely self-produced.

She recently started her own band called “The Swingin’ Swedes” who play a mix of danceable modern- and traditional jazz tunes. They play at various venues around the Los Angeles area.

She headlined at Merkin Hall in New York, in September of 2024 in a tribute show to the famous composer Sholom Secunda.

Idun Carling tours the United States and Europe off and on together with her mother, Gunhild Carling, and together they make a very energetic duo. They can be seen as recurring head liners at places like Birdland Jazz Club in New York, Keystone Korner in Baltimore, and Nyack Jazz festival in New York.

Idun Carling is often a feature on Gunhild Carling’s you tube channel, where she live streams a music program every week.

She is also on the rise as a song- writer and has a comprehensive list of compositions in her inventory.
