Annie is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on November 21, 1977 in Trondheim, Norway. Annie was born in 1977 Trondheim, Norway and was raised in the coastal town of Kristiansand. Annie’s father, a church organist, died of cancer when Annie was 7. After a series of moves, Annie and her mother, a teacher of English and religion, moved to Norway’s second largest city Bergen when Annie was 13. By this time, Annie sang in choirs.
After completing secondary school, Annie started DJing in Bergen, where she met house producer and soon-to-be boyfriend Tore Kroknes. In 1999, Annie and Kroknes released the single “The Greatest Hit”, which sold out in two days and became popular in Norwegian and British nightclubs. Before Annie and Kroknes could release an album, Kroknes died from a congenital heart defect in 2001. Annie went on to sign a record deal with Britain’s 679 Recordings in 2003, releasing her debut album Anniemal in 2004, for which she received widespread critical acclaim and several Norwegian music awards.
After a hiatus from music, Annie returned to DJing and songwriting in late 2001, running a club night called Pop Till You Drop at the Agora nightclub in Bergen with DJ friend Fröken Blytt. Among the music acts booked for Pop Till You Drop were Peaches, DJ Adam Mac, and Finnish DJ Timo Kaukolampi of Op:l Bastards. Annie later DJed at Kaukolampi’s own night club in Helsinki and lent her vocals to some Op:l Bastards tracks.
Annie was signed to British label 679 Recordings in March 2003. Annie recorded the track “Kiss Me” with Kaukolampi, and was approached by Richard X to record vocals for the track “Just Friends” on Richard X Presents His X-Factor Vol. 1, released in August 2003. In return, he and Hannah Robinson co-wrote “Chewing Gum” and “Me Plus One” for Annie. Annie and Richard X continued to work together, releasing the single “Chewing Gum” in Annie’s name in September
- The track was named single of the week by NME soon after its release, and charted in the UK at number 25.
Annie and Kroknes became romantically involved, and began to collaborate musically. Annie’s talent for writing melodies and vocals worked well with Kroknes’s production skills. Annie launched her solo singing career in 1999 with the single “Greatest Hit”. The song was recorded after Annie played Madonna’s song “Everybody” for Kroknes, who was experiencing a creative block at the time. Kroknes sampled the song, and Annie started to sing a melody to it. They recorded and released the song under the Tellé label. The song saw a limited release of 500 7-inch singles, which sold out in two days. “Greatest Hit” became an underground club hit in Norway and Britain, and Annie received offers for record contracts. Annie reflects that she and Kroknes had recorded the song “for fun”, but with the success of the single, Annie says, “I realized that I could actually make a living out of this.”

In January 2007, Annie signed an international deal with Island Records, owned by Universal Music Group. She had planned to release her second album, Don’t Stop, in September 2008, preceded by the Richard X-produced single “I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me”, after she finished touring on the Popjustice Wonky Pop Tour. In November 2008, Annie announced that due to internal problems within the label, she had decided to part ways with Island Records; in interviews following the eventual release of Don’t Stop, Annie explained that her original A&R agent at the label, Nick Gatfield, left to join EMI UK, and Annie left the label because her new agent was not enthusiastic about her work. Although this left her second album’s future uncertain, she retained legal control over the songs she recorded during her contracted period with the label. Verdens Gang suggested that the split with the label was precipitated by the poor chart performance of “I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me”, which charted at number fifty-four in the UK. Don’t Stop leaked in its original incarnation in 2008.
