Ane Trolle was born in 1979 and grew up in the rural town of Sorø
where she was playing with her friends, riding horses, and loving the
forest. No one in her family are musicians so her musical upbringing
came through the walkman which played a lot of Queen, Duran Duran and
Blondie. Another major early musical influence was her frequent visits
with a friend to Broby Gammelskole. A place where music was always
played while people were eating, drinking and bawling. It was a mix of
hobos, gypsies and buskers and it was a great inspiration.
When Ane was about 16 years old she enrolled in a continuation school
with a music class. Here she learned seven chords on a guitar and
began strumming songs for her friends and that's where she discovered
her ability to sing.
Ane is far from being a trained singer. Her formal education is
limited to the mandatory years in primary school and then three years
of free youth education (a system many young Danish people benefited
from until the government discontinued it in 2001). But this wasn't
where she developed her singing. The real education for Ane has been
her many years freestyling on the Copenhagen club scene.
At the age of 19 she began utilizing her strong appetite for partying
to develop a talent for improvised singing, which has given her the
ability to spontaneously sing a song to fit any given music. Whether
it is hiphop, jungle, reggae, house or electro the DJ is spinning.
Freestyling was her breakthrough in the underground. Here she sang
both organized with various DJs and spontaneously when she would just
grab the microphone in clubs, at raves, parties, demonstrations and
even concerts.
After having freestyled in the Copenhagen underground for eight years
Ane quit her job and decided to be a real singer. One day she was
visiting her friend Martin who had just made a cup of coffee and a new
beat. In his bedroom, with a worn out mic wrapped in a stocking, she
improvised a song about being "ready to blow". The recording was
released as the single Sweet Dogs which gave Ane her radio
breakthrough, her first gold record and motivation to buy a good
microphone and a new computer so that today she records in her own
living room.
Cooperation has been a keyword for the work of Ane Trolle so far. Most
singers are launched as either solo artists or as part of a band. But
Ane has been a feature artist on records by Trentemøller, Artificial
Funk, Melk, Booty Cologne and Peder and at the same time worked on her
three simultaneous bands JaConfetti, Trolle//Siebenhaar and Balstyrko.
And she has yet to release a song in her own name.
During only half a year her characteristic voice managed to get the
famed top playlist spot on the national music radio channel P3 three
times in three different constellations. Also it has already given Ane
several prestigious awards and nominations (updated list of that stuff
is in the "discography" section).
But it is still the music itself and the chemistry in the
collaborations which motivates Ane Trolle. She is dreaming about
creating more quality music and having fun at the same time. She loves
singing, loves her friends and her city and still loves the forest.
Så er der allerede lavet et remix af "En Hvisken" ---> TJEK ENDELIG :D Sku du være interesseret i lave dit eget remix af nummeret, kan du skrive mig en besked herinde og vi finder ud af noget ;)
"The forest was deep in mediation under the soft moonlight. Things appeared peacefully quiet under the shadow of darkness, where mysterious silence exerted great beauty across the Universe."
