Oh yeah, rumor is true. S.T.D. and MO&Co. is bringingthe Danish singer MØ to China’s stage.

Ten yearsago, Karen Marie Ørsted was one half of a Danish feministpunk duo whoserepertoire included a song called Pussy in Your Face. In 2016, however, Mø is,by some measurements, the biggest pop star in the world. Lean On, hercollaboration with Major Lazer and DJ Snake, was named last year as Spotify’smost-streamed track of all time, and has picked up 1.6bn YouTube plays. Hercollaboration with Justin Bieber, Cold Water, ended Drake’s 16-week stay at No1 earlier 2016.

Karen MarieAagaard Ørsted Andersen, known professionally as MØ is a Danish singer andsongwriter, signed to Sony Music Entertainment. Besides being the initials ofher middle and last name, her stage name Mø means “virgin” in Danish, andrefers to her wide-eyed enthusiasm for the world, but is an example of how shesubtly provokes from within the mainstream, too.

MØ's debutstudio album, No Mythologies to Follow, was released on 7 March 2014. On thereview aggregate site Metacritic, the album has a Metascore of an 77 out of 100indicating "generally favorable" reviews. Music blog Pretty MuchAmazing called the album "complex and euphoric".

In November2014, she won four awards at the Danish Music Awards: Danish Album of the Year,Danish Solo Artist of the Year, Danish Breakthrough Artist of the Year andDanish Music Video of the Year.

In 2014, MØwas featured on Australian rapper Iggy Azalea's song "Beg for It". MØwas also featured on Elliphant's "One More", which was officiallyreleased as a single on 22 September 2014.

MØ co-wroteand provided vocals for another Major Lazer song, "Lean On" with DJSnake, which was released in March 2015. The single topped the charts in MØ'snative Denmark, Australia, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand,while reaching the top five in several countries, including France, Germany,Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. The single 'Lean on' gainedover 2 billion views on Youtube as of April 2017, making it the ninth mostviewed video of the site.

On 22 July2016, Major Lazer released the single "Cold Water" which featuresCanadian singer Justin Bieber and MØ, marking the fourth time she has workedwith Major Lazer. In the United States, "Cold Water" debuted at numbertwo on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, "Cold Water"debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart.

On stage, Møis a tornado. Her dancing is uninhibited and wild, as if she were in theaudience rather than centre-stage. She is fiercely present, never vacant orgoing through the motions. She almost always ends up crowdsurfing or in thepit.

“Once I go on stage I can just f**k up.And I love that. I love to be free and don’t think about if I look good or singperfectly. It’s just ‘blaaaaagh!’ It’s so nice. Just watching that punk show –that was where I have it from. Just screaming and shouting and rolling on thefloor. It’s the most f**king great thing to do. To just let go.”
