Engelina Andrina Larsen (born 1978 on Bornholm, Denmark[1]) is a Danish singer and songwriter who is best known for writing and providing the vocals for DJ Encore's "I See Right Through to You", which was a #1 hit in her native Denmark.
Engelina, the daughter of Ann-Katrin and songwriter Henning Larsen, grew up on Bornholm with her two older sisters. She was originally a jazz and soul singer.
In 1997 she moved from Århus to Copenhagen, where she met producer and disc jockey DJ Encore in 2000 through an employee at Sony/ATV Music Publishing, who suggested that DJ Encore's music would fit well with Engelina's vocal.[2] One of the first songs they worked on together was "I See Right Through to You", which was later chosen as the theme song to the first season of the reality television show Big Brother Denmark in 2001.[3]
After working with DJ Encore, she joined the girl pop trio Sha Li Mar, together with Christina Undhjem (former lead singer in YouKnowWho) and Ida Corr (backing vocals for Gnags among others). The group were part of the band in the fourth season of the prime time television show Venner for livet (literally "Friends forever") on TV 2 in 2002. They released a self-titled album the same year.[1]
In 2007 she co-wrote the song "Like a Drug", with Cutfather, Jonas Jeberg and Adam Powers for Kylie Minogue's album X. The song was also sent to the A&R of Britney Spears who liked it, but thought it sounded too much like Minogue.[4]
