Biography

Angelina, a world-renowned singer, was born and raised in Oslo, Norway. Despite her young age, she has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth, and maturity of her vocal talent. Her passion for music began at just one-and-a-half years old when she saw Whitney Houston on YouTube performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington became her first major musical influences.

Angelina auditioned for Norway's Got Talent at the age of seven, performing Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition, drawing record TV audiences. Throughout her rising career, she has featured in prominent media outlets such as TIME, CNN, BBC, and People, and performed on U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.

In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone's Feeling Good. She has also sung before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates and has given her talent to charitable causes, including the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin, where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.

Angelina is a multi-talented singing prodigy who has also written a successful, illustrated children's book in her native Norway, making her the youngest published author in the country's history. The book is based on the true story of when she was six years old and met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world's children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public.
