Anette Askvik

Anette’s songs are simple and emotive. Her music is inventive, mysterious and creates a unique dark and curious atmosphere. Some say her voice is similar to the late Norwegian singer Radka Toneff.

The CD «Liberty» is produced by Øystein Sevåg and some of the contributing musicians are Audun Erlien, Rune Arnesen, Petter Wettre and the string quartet Katharsis.

On her debutalbum ”Liberty” Anette Askvik has created an album where the spontaneous, the simple and almost naive is combined with sophisticated band- arrangements and cascades of sound.
The music is inspired by multitudes of styles like pop, jazz, electronica, experimental, folk, rock and classical music.

Anette has toured in Germany, London and New York to great success.

Musically she is attracted to what´s simple, appealing and immediate. But music is to her much more than what´s confined to a particular form: For Anette, music is everywhere, in the trees, in the streets, on the tram and in the relationships between people.

”Liberty” was released in Oslo with a huge releaseconcert with full band, saxophone, string quartet and a choir on stage.

She is about to record her second album, which will be released in spring 2014.
