Gorgeous and classy, that's Nanna for you. Known as "Oh Land", Nanna is a talented singer-songwriter from Denmark. She was born into an historically rich and music-oriented family with a theater organist as a father and an opera singer as her mother, which contributed a lot in her music. With her physique and beauty, one could have mistaken her for a model rather than a musician and this is because of her previous passion: ballet. Before she would have been known as Oh Land, Nanna was a promising ballerina. Because of a serious back injury, Nanna had ended her career as a ballerina. That was one of the saddest events of her life, but not long after, music became her savior. She made her bedroom her studio and music her playground. Now, Nanna has made her dreams come true.
One of the things that made me attracted to Oh Land's music is her dreamy sounds. Electro-pop is not really my cup of tea, but her songs are really soothing to my ears. Her lives and her acoustic versions are my favorites since it has an indie vibe in it. The first song I heard from her is her single "Sun of a Gun", but the one that made me hooked on to her music is her live performance of "Wolf and I". Then her live performance in the Big Yellow Ugly Couch became one of my favorites (especially Rainbow). It may have been pink and colorful...but who cares? She's got great dreamy music. :)
