This week's featured artist is an exciting singer songwriter from Finland. 

Alma-Sofia Miettinen, known as Alma to the rest of the world, has been making her way into our ears through tracks such as 'Dye My Hair' and her new single 'Chasing Highs'.

We were lucky enough to catch up with the 21-year-old to find out a little bit more about her.

Check it out...

1. For those who don’t know about you and your music, tell us a little bit about who you are and where you’re from…

I'm Alma, 21 from Finland. Singer, songwriter and party girl.

2. Describe your sound in three words…

Urban, soulful, radiant.

3. Who inspired you to start a career in music?

Amy Winehouse, Sia.

4. Who are your biggest musical influences?

Not anyone specific. Everything from old soul music to contemporary pop.

5. Tell us about the writing and recording process for your new single/album...

The up-coming single was made very quickly when I started to do sessions in Berlin. We did it during the first two weeks I spent there with German producers Hit Impulse and Pascal Reinhardt. It happened pretty organically because there was no pressure on us. That’s always the best way to write music. It needs to be free.

6. What can we expect from your live shows?

Moshpits, good energy and a lot of love on stage as I share it with my twin sister as well as the band. Hopefully overall just a killer show. I consider myself as much of a performing artist as a recording artist, both are equally important.

7. What has been your biggest career highlight so far?

Flow Festival 2016, the news that Elton John is a fan (!!!) and the support I get from BBC Radio 1, Mistajam is the man.

8. Have you met anyone and been totally starstruck?

All the time, Zara Larsson, Charlie XCX, MØ, but I try to play it cool every time, haha!

9. What’s on your iPod/playlists that people wouldn’t expect?

Nothing too shocking really. I have one main playlist called ‘Alma's favourites’ where you’ll find everything from Missy Elliot to Justin Bieber, a real mix.

10. When can we see you live?

I'm about to announce a big tour! Pick a town and come see me!

You can follow Alma on Twitter and Instagram, just follow the links. Her single 'Chasing Highs' is out now, check it out below:

View the lyrics
2:00 a.m., I'm fading in the dark
Like floating in the ocean
People need the poison
3:00 a.m, you just touched my hand
And made me lose my focus
I almost didn't notice

And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you
(I wanna get closer to you)
And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you

I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
You are getting closer in slow motion

4:00 a.m., almost touching you
Drowning at the noises
In between the voices
5:00 a.m., there is something more
I caught the luck you gave me
Phases going hazy

And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you
(I wanna get closer to you)
And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you

I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
You are getting closer in slow motion

I stopped counting the hours
Space between us getting smaller and smaller
I'm losing the powers
I'm falling higher and higher with you

I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
'Til I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs (I'm chasing, I'm chasing)
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
You are getting closer in slow motion
