SMiLE.dk is a Swedish pop duo with the singers Veronica and Hanna from Sweden. Their mission is to entertain and create happiness through their catchy lyrics, upbeat sound & tender sensitive ballads, and of course the tracks are bound together by their beautiful voices!
They are a Swedish dance/pop group that has consisted of 4 members over time: Veronica Almqvist, Nina Boquist, Malin Kernby, and Hanna Stockzell. Despite what the group name suggests, the members are not Danish; they are all from Sweden. They were signed at EMI in Denmark, and when the first album "SMiLE" were released in Japan they found out that there existed a Japanese rockgroup also named "Smile". To avoid misunderstandings the recordcompany added .dk after the groupname, hence the ".dk" tag.
Veronica and Nina first formed their band as SMiLE and published their first album in 1998. It received wide attention, especially in Japan. Several songs in this album were included in EMI Dancemania compilations, of which one of the songs, "Butterfly", was eventually licensed by Konami into the first version of Dance Dance Revolution. Since then, Butterfly has become one of the most popular songs in Dance Dance Revolution's history!!!
Malin and Veronica met each other in singing school in 1994 and have been best friends ever since. However, they didn’t start working together until the year 2000, when Nina wanted to have a solo career, and Malin joined SMiLE.dk. They celebrated their biggest success in Asia and have achieved superstar status through selling a whole amount of records.
In 2008, SMiLE.dk went through some major changes. Signed to a new record label, new producers, and the new band member, Hanna, were just some of the changes.
A little about the members:
Veronica has been with SMiLE.dk since the very beginning. She has been singing and dancing since a very young age. Eight years in a gospel choir, TV show in Sweden called "Sikta mot Stjärnorna" (Aim for the stars) as Sissel Kyrkjebö. Her first international release was in Japan 1995 with the Swedish group” Look Twice”. She was the lead singer of the band, accompanied by two male rappers – “Vinny” and “Crazy G”. She stayed a part of the band “Look Twice” until the year 1997. In 1998 she helped create the music group SMiLE and has continued to work hard at it ever since.
Nina worked with Veronica on their first CD, SMiLE. However, in 1999 she left the group to pursue a solo career. Before SMiLE she gave out a single in Sweden as a solo artist called "Juicy".
Malin started singing and dancing when she was 5 years old. As she got older she performed as a background singer for many popular Swedish musicians. Today Malin lives in Stockholm and she also became a mom in 2005. Malin & Veronica made 3 albums together: Future Girls, Smile Paradise, and Golden Sky. Due to personal matters, Malin had to leave the group but she will be recording some tracks on their new album including the first single Doki Doki!
After the departure, Veronica asked a fellow recording partner, Hanna, to join her in the studio.
Hanna is the newest member of SMiLE.dk and will be working with Veronica on their new album “Party Around The World” that will be released in October 2008. She is a singer and songwriter from southern Sweden. She started her career in a church choir at age six and has continued singing and performing ever since. She loves to spread joy and to give people warmth and strength in her songs. She has done everything from solo performances to different kinds of shows and has been with some of the best vocal coaches in Sweden. She has also done backing vocals for the worldwide artist Pandora.
Now Veronica and Hanna are back with SMiLE.dk producing new music that fans are sure to love! Along with the announcement of returning to the music world, Smile.dk also announced plans several US performances. The future has a lot in store for this duo, so stay tuned & keep smiling!!! :)
