Anne Lilia Berge Strand (born November 21, 1977), better known by her stage name Annie, is a pop artist and DJ from Bergen,
Norway. Annie began her recording career in 1999 with the underground hit single "The Greatest Hit" and gained international
acclaim, particularly from music bloggers, for her debut album Anniemal (2004).
After completing secondary school, Annie started DJing in Bergen, where she met house producer and future boyfriend Tore
Kroknes. In 1999, Annie and Kroknes released the single "The Greatest Hit", which sold out in two days and became popular in
Norwegian and British nightclubs. Before Annie and Kroknes could release an album, Kroknes died from a congenital heart defect in
2001. Annie went on to sign a record deal with Britain's 679 Recordings in 2003, releasing her debut album Anniemal in 2004, for
which she received widespread critical acclaim and several Norwegian music awards.
Annie has been praised for her unique, "indie" style of electropop music and has been described as "a pop singer with credibility, an
indie artist with one eye on the dancefloor",[1] and "the Kylie it's cool to like".[2] Annie describes her music as "pop with strange
edges."
Annie released her studio second album, Don't Stop, on the Smalltown Supersound label on October 19, 2009. Annie currently lives
in Berlin.
