  • Alma's Extraordinary Soulful Voice and Sharply Observed Lyrics Hit
    Alma’s extraordinary soulful voice and sharply observed lyrics hit somewhere between Sia and Amy Winehouse. Perhaps understandable the world wants to know where and the how the 22-year-old Finnish powerhouse (currently working with MNEK, Rudimental, Charlie XCX, Sub Focus, Tove Lo, Justin Tranter and 2 Inch Punch) began her career in music. “I don’t think I ever really started,” Alma recalls. “It’s just when I was little, I understood that singing made me feel things. It made me feel safe, it made me feel good, it made me feel better. It’s how I’ve survived everything, cliché as that sounds.” Alma needn’t worry about clichés: with her long, electric-neon hair, baggy punk attire and magnetic attitude she is everything but the stereotypical pop princess. “She looks like a cybergoth reimagining of a young Adele and sounds like Beth Ditto had she been raised on tropical house,” The Observer wrote recently - they hit the nail on the head. Growing up between Helsinki in the winter and Lapland in the summer, Alma sang constantly. “If I was happy, if I was sad, if I was walking alone in the dark and a bit scared,” she says. “It made me feel like I had a shelter around me.” Singing was her secret security blanket —until one summer when her family were driving north for the season. She told her parents that she wanted to sing for them, and they imagined they were in for a rendition of something by the Spice Girls or Destiny’s Child.

Entertainment and sports law is civil law of a specific character that relates to the fields of entertainment and athletics. The practice involves contracts, labor law, corporate finance, intellectual property, and antitrust. Lawyers practicing in the field of entertainment and sports law specialize in knowing and understanding their clients’ industry and are able to advocate for their clients’ interests. In the major professional sports leagues of the National Football League (“NFL”), Major League Baseball (“MLB”), Na- tional Basketball Association (“NBA”), and National Hockey League (“NHL”), players’ associations act much like unions, regulating fees and salaries for sports professionals, coaches, and agents. For the lawyer specializing in entertainment law, intellectual property law takes center stage. Copyright law concerns the rights of creators of artistic works in the music, entertainment, publishing, and fine arts industries.
