Fallulah (born 6 February 1985) is a Danish-Romanian singer-songwriter and musician. Her given name is Maria Apetri. Following a short dancing career, she entered the music industry and released her debut album in 2010 which peaked at number three in Denmark and went on to be certified platinum.

Early life

Fallulah grew up in Tårnby on Amager island, the southern suburbs of Copenhagen. She went to a boarding school in Haarby called Haarby efterskole, thereafter she attended Kalundborg Gymnasium. Her Danish mother, Lillian Apetri and her Romanian father Nicolae Apetri, were the initiators of the Balkanic folklore dance group Crihalma. Therefore, Fallulah spent much of her childhood on dancing tours in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe. This activity ceased when she lost her father when she was nine years old. They then moved to Jyderup in the north west of Zealand, where Fallulah continued with her dancing. At age 21 she moved to New York to start at the Broadway Dance Center but then moved back to Denmark to focus on music.

Career

Fallulah has been compared to Florence and the Machine, Timur Bairam, Marina and the Diamonds and Bat for Lashes. She performed at the Start! festival and has been featured as "Soundvenue Selected" by the Danish music magazine of the same name. She was national radio station DR P3's "unavoidable" during week 38 in 2009 with her single "I Lay My Head".

On 30 October 2009, she released "No Time for Love", the theme song for the Danish film Simon and Malou.

Her single "Bridges" was the most played track from a home artist on DR P3 in 2010, and on 15 January 2011, Fallulah won the "P3 Guld" award. In 2011, Fallulah had another hit with the song "Out of It", which was played as the intro for the comedy Lykke on national Danish television. For several weeks the song was the number one download on Danish iTunes. It was number one on the Danish hit list and on the radio list, ending up earning her a Danish Music Award (a Danish Grammy) in the category "Hit of the Year".

Her second album Escapism was released 4 February 2013 in Denmark. It was followed by Perfect Tense in February 2016. In 2019 she switched from record company labels to self-publishing, using her own record label to publish her fourth full album All My Eyes Are Open in November 2020, and in 2023 her fifth album Celeste.
