MAI YOUNG ØVILSEN, 39, is a Korean Danish composer and front woman for her band Meejah, whose alt-shoegaze sounds are guided by her haunting voice and lyrics about Korean adoption, transnational identity and homeland. Øvilsen also shines a light on an aspect of searching for biological parents for adoptees that is often left out of common narratives.
