Dagny Norvoll Sandvik (born 23 July 1990) is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.
Early life[]
Dagny was born in Tromsø, Norway, and has two parents who are musicians. It was not until she was around 15-16 when she started playing music hersellf. In a school project they had to create a song, and she wrote and performed it in front of her peers, which led to the teacher recognizing her talent. She began to realize her passion for songwriting, commenting, "I wanted to be a songwriter, not necessarily a performer, even though I was always performing around the house, dancing and singing. That’s kind of how it kicked off".[1]
Career[]
She released her debut EP Ultraviolet in 2016.
Her debut studio album Strangers / Lovers was released in 2020.
Artistry[]
Dagny's music is categorised under pop. She explained in an interview in 2016, "I think I've probably always been a pop girl. [...] I had that period, I don't know if you remember that Jason Mraz, "Banana Pancakes" surfer guy—Jack Johnson—period. All of those guys were around so there was a period where I was doing ukulele folk-pop songs, but I'm definitely a pop girl. I like country and Americana and stuff like that, but you're a different kind of storyteller, I think, if you’re a country artist.[1]
