Candidates
to the association's board of directors

Brian Risberg Enggaard Clausen is running for the board

Established singer/songwriter in English-language pop under the stage name Bryan Rice.

He is a self-taught DIY artist with his own label and music entrepreneur who likes to get involved and express himself. Graduated from DMJX in Social Media Strategy, and from CBS in Spanish and English.

Motivation
I have has been on the DAF Board since 2020 and is keen to be re-elected and continue the intensive work for a better, simultaneous and stronger organisation.

Brian is Vice Chairperson of Spil Dansk and has been awarded a 4-year seat on the City of Copenhagen's Music Committee and appointed to the Danish Arts Foundation's Board of Representatives.

Viola Faye Ellehammer Dasseville is standing as an alternate member of the board

Viola is an interdisciplinary artist, facilitator and actor.
She has trained through a number of performing arts programmes, holds a Master in Facilitation from ISFO and recently returned with a Bachelor's degree from Glasgow School of Art.
For the past ten years, she has worked freelance in the industry and is interested in cross-aesthetic projects.

Motivation
I'm running for the board because I want to use my artistic and professional skills in a professional community that I find important. At times, with my varied background, I have found it difficult to find my place in the industry, and have several times grown into a calmness around my professionalism by virtue of my membership of the Danish Artist Association. I want to help strengthen the direction in which the association is heading and help to clarify the qualities of being a member of the association. The professional community has benefited me greatly as I become more and more professional in my work, and I'm curious to see how more new graduates, master craftsmen and self-taught artists get a taste for participating in a professional community. When we stand together, we can create change that benefits both us artists and everyone we come into contact with.
