Hanne Sørvaag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hanne Margrethe Fredriksen Sørvaag is a Norwegian singer/songwriter born in Stavanger, Norway, December 27, 1979. She is currently based in Stockholm, Sweden.
She released her first album, You Know Me (Sony/Columbia) under the artist name Paris in 2002, an album that gave her three fair radio hits in Norway. Her second album, Talk of the Town (Diamond Road Music) was released in 2006 under her own name. The first single off the album was I don't Feel a Thing.
Apart from her career as a performing artist, she's also been successful writing for other artist, notably My Destiny (co-written by Tim Baxter and Harry Sommerdahl), which was performed by Katherine McPhee in the American Idol finals in 2006. Several other international and Norwegian artists have performed her songs. She often cites Sheryl Crow as a major influence on her music.
In March 2008, the song Disappear composed by Hanne and Danish songwriters Thomas Troelsen and Remee won the German preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 performed by No Angels. This song will therefore represent Germany in the Eurovision final in Belgrade on May 24, 2008. This is not the first time she has been involved in Eurovision, having co-written the song You Got A Hold On Me sung by Linda Kvam in the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix in 2003.
