Anina Biography
-The inspiration for my lyrics and music, I get from relations to people that are close to me. I listen to my own sadness, anger or joy, and the emotions make the words and music come alive.
Anina is about to realize her life long dream. Ever since she was a persistant 3-year-old, forcing her parents to applaud her performances on the dinner table, she was determined to follow her call.
Throughout her childhood in Norway, she was focusing on dancing, singing and acting. She played lead roles in children musicals, plays and TV drama series. At age ten she wrote her first song. “It was crap, but I kept on writing and composing, and it slowly improved.”
But at 14 life takes a dramatic turn. Anina is hit by a rare spinal disorder, that can cripple her and destroy her dreams. The spine is starting to twist. The doctors tell her to stop dancing. She decides to fight back – and starts a slow and painful process. For two long years, she has to wear a tight, hard plastic brace to stabilize the spine. But she refuses to let it stop her. Throughout this period, she continues to dance and sing on stage and act for TV.
And miraculously, her spine condition improved. Graduating from performing arts high school in 2004, she got top grades in all subjects – including dance, evaluated on the same base as everyone else.
At age 15, a major recordlabel in Norway signed her, but the Norwegian market is so small, and the label wanted her to sing dance versions of cover songs, and that wasn’t what she wanted. So she got out of the contract.
“I’ve always been very focused on what I want to do. Im very stubborn, I really have to believe in what Im doing”
In 2002 she started working in studio with her own songs, and in 2003 she got her own band. They have been playing in different clubs, and has gotten very good response from the crowd!
Anina has been doing yoga for five years. She has chosen an alternative way of living.
Anina knows that her path is paved. She is dedicated to make a living of what she loves the most – to be on stage and to move people with her music and acting.
