Danish singer, songwriter and actress, born 23 July 1963. Caught the attention of Replay Records (5) with a homemade demo-tape which lead to 1982 debut album Nanna and moderate attention. National breakthrough in 1984 with Buster, the title-song for the Bille August movie of the same name, and even more airplay with the Danish top seller of 1985, the charity single Afrika that had the majority of Danish rock and pop top acts singing her composition. On record Nanna often sings her own multi-layer backing vocals, and her vocal skills made her a popular studio and tour backing vocalist in the 1980's. Girlfriend of Hilmer Hassig at the time of his death in 2008.
