A Moment in Norwegian History – National Media Covers EFFIE ÐeFine’s Tomorrowland Breakthrough

It’s official. The story of EFFIE ÐeFine breaking barriers and becoming the first Norwegian female DJ to ever perform at Tomorrowland has now been recognized by Norwegian national media – and the emotional weight of this moment is hard to put into words.

When I first dreamed of this journey, it was just that — a dream. But now, seeing NRK, Norway’s largest broadcaster, share this story with the nation, I realize how powerful it is to represent not just myself, but an entire generation of female artists who dare to dream differently.

📺 National TV coverage on NRK

The journey was featured in NRK Dagsrevyen, Norway’s main national news broadcast. Watch the full segment here from timestamp 20:00 to 22:37, where they follow my steps from Norway to the global Tomorrowland stage.

🎧 A personal interview on national radio

In the special episode of NRK MP3’s summer radio show, I had the chance to go deeper and reflect on the emotional and energetic meaning behind this milestone. You can listen to it here from 58:00 to 01:03:46 – where we talk about music, dreams, frequencies, and finding your purpose.

📰 Online coverage and headlines

The article by NRK Culture titled "Første norske kvinnelige DJ på Tomorrowland: – Smågråter hver dag" (Translation: “First Norwegian female DJ at Tomorrowland: Cries a little every day”) beautifully captures the raw emotion of this chapter. You can read it in full here.

Another publication, 24Nyheter, also picked up the story — read it here.

Why this matters

This is about more than a single set. It’s about showing that anything is possible when you define your dreams and dare to follow your own frequency — even when the odds are stacked against you. I’m incredibly grateful for the recognition, but even more grateful for the platform this opens up for other women, artists, dreamers, and creators who are still on their way.

To every young girl in Norway wondering if she belongs in the booth, behind the decks, or on a global stage — you do.

Let this be a reminder:
Define your dreams. And let your wings take you there.

With love and gratitude,
EFFIE ÐeFine
