Danish artist Jenny Rossander, better known as Lydmor, says she is in the middle of an official name change. Her next release will appear under a different name.
Rossander made the statement in the culture program Parnasset on DR’s radio channel P1, in an episode about new beginnings at the end of the summer holidays. DR published the interview on August 10, 2026.
According to DR, Rossander has released five albums under the name Lydmor. She said the next thing she puts out will carry another name. The broadcaster describes her as 36 years old and from Funen.
Rossander is not ready to reveal the new artist name. Per DR, she described the switch as a larger maneuver involving several people. She said she is planning how to announce it, and added that she will probably care more about it than anyone else.
DR notes that Rossander has moved through several artistic roles without changing her stage name. She began as an electronic pop musician, then worked as a theatre composer, won a Robert award as a film composer, and debuted as a novelist. Her latest shift is into DJing.
The broadcaster contrasts this with David Bowie, who adopted a series of different personas during his career. As reported by DR, Rossander said that hearing the list of Bowie’s names made her regret that each of her own phases did not get a name of its own. She said she is now trying the name change out.
ADHD and a documentary year
DR also reports that Rossander recently received an ADHD diagnosis after living with symptoms for a long time. Asked what she would change about herself, she said she would be most curious about life without it. She linked the condition to her ability to become obsessed with a subject, and to forgetting keys and return calls.
Rossander is also the subject of the 2026 documentary Jenny – en historie om Lydmor, which is available on DRTV. DR describes the film as an intimate portrait of an uncompromising artist who uses her own life as raw material. She told P1 that she draws reassurance from Sarah Alford’s book about women artists who did too much.
The DR interview concerns her artist name and does not state whether a legal name change is involved. Under Danish rules, name changes are applied for digitally. Guidance published on borger.dk lists a fee of 646.37 kroner in 2026.
Official guidance published on retsinformation.dk states that applications are submitted digitally, and that changes connected to marriage are free of charge if filed within three months after the wedding. DR is so far the only outlet to report Rossander’s planned name change.
