Source-derived summary

Marie Louise Buch (; born 1987) is a Danish musician, composer, and producer. She released her debut album Skinned in 2020 and her sophomore album Suntub in 2023, both to critical acclaim.

Early life

Marie Louise Buch was raised in the suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark, by her mother, a fiddler and accordionist, and visited her father, a rock and roll guitarist, every other weekend. She was given the nickname "ML" by her grandfather, which she later adopted as her stage name, explaining that the name "creates a tiny distance, and I'm free to do what I like inside of that."

Buch moved to Copenhagen as a child. When she was a child, her father introduced her to the music of The Beatles, Kris Kristofferson, and Bo Diddley, and she was especially drawn to Diddley's bandmate Peggy Jones, the first female guitarist she had seen. While learning to play guitar as a teenager, she was further influenced by Michael Jackson, the Metallica album S&M, and Danish bubblegum pop music.

She studied visual culture in college, later attending the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, where she studied composition.

Career

Buch's first release under the name ML Buch was her debut EP Fleshy in 2017, the same year she began studying at the conservatory.

She announced her debut album Skinned in early 2019, ultimately releasing it on 3 July 2020 on Anyines Records alongside music videos for five tracks. The release was also accompanied by an album-length video depicting the inside of Buch's gastrointestinal tract, captured using a capsule endoscopy camera.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “ML Buch” as danish musician and producer (born 1987). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1987, 2020, 2023, 2017—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1987-01-01. The account is most persuasive where Buch, Danish and musician can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as danish musician and producer (born 1987). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126902082. VIAF identifies the subject as 193163706520829420699. The Library of Congress control number is no2025096755. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2020, 2023 and 2017.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
