[edit] Biography

Claus Noreen was born in Gentofte, nearby Copenhagen. Before he seriously started making music he always wanted to become a chemist. Except for school one of his biggest interests was the elektro pop. He bought a pair of keyboards and started playing industrial techno. When he finished with school he started to work in his sisters' clothing store. The work in the store inspired him and made him change his style and made Claus as we know him today. In 1989 he met Søren Rasted and moved his music instrument to his resident.

Main article: Aqua (band)

Although Aqua formed as a group called Joyspeed in 1994, their history together dates back to 1989, and the recording of the soundtrack for a little-known Danish film called Frække Frida og de frygtløse spioner. At the time René was working in Norway as a club DJ, and Søren and Claus were both starting out as producers. The three were brought in to make part of the soundtrack for the film, and after getting along well, decided that they wanted to work together again on a future project. The future project would not come to fruition for several years, though, with the three pursuing their chosen career paths (production for Søren and Claus, and DJing for René). The three still intended to work together, and had discussed the possibility of forming a group, but lacked a lead vocalist to front them.
