Career


NaNa Hedin started her career in the late 1980s, and worked primarily at the Cheiron Studios in Stockholm along with the Cheiron producers Denniz Pop, Max Martin, Kristian Lundin, etc. She recorded backup vocals for many artists such as Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Gary Barlow, Ace of Base, Aqua, and many others.

Hedin also recorded lead vocals for other Swedish artists such as Dr. Alban ("Look Who's Talking"), Stakka Bo ("Here We Go" and the whole Supermarket album released in 1993), Amadin ("Alrabaiye") or Flexx ("Wake Up").

In 2000, Hedin released her own single "Fame 2000" as NaNa D'Aquini under the Danish label Merlin / Playground Scandinavia. It was a cover and remix of the 1980s hit "Fame" by Irene Cara. A music video was shot in Las Vegas[1] and the song was remixed by several DJs worldwide.

In 2005, she entered Melodifestivalen 2005 with the song "Wherever You Go".[2]

Hedin also performed as a 'Primadonna' in theaters and tours between 1993 and 2003 with Swedish stand-up comedian/author Jonas Gardell.


With E-Type


Hedin is mostly known for singing the chorus on most of E-Type's albums between 1994 and 2004, including the hits Set the World on Fire (1994), This Is the Way (1994), Angels Crying (1998), Here I Go Again (1998), and many more. Their last collaboration was for the song Paradise in 2004, which was used to enter Melodifestivalen 2004.[3]

Most of the time, Dilnarin "Dee" Demirbag was on stage and in music videos with E-Type, lip-synching to Hedin's voice. Hedin can be seen in the music videos of "Set the World on Fire" (both versions),[4][5] "Life"[6] and "Paradise".[7]


Notable TV appearances


Besides the Melodifestivalen appearances in 2004 and 2005, Hedin opened the Swedish Sport Awards in 2007 by singing Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky, in front of the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. It was aired live on SVT from the Globen Arena.[8]

In September 2007, Hedin participated in the musical game show Doobidoo on SVT, and paired up with Janne Carlsson against Ingela "Pling" Forsman & Jan Johansen. She performed Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing, with Carlsson on the drums.

On May 2, 2008, Hedin participated in the music program Så ska det låta. She paired up with Fred Johansson against Sarah Dawn Finer and Patrik Isaksson.[9]


Awards


On June 6, 2018, Hedin received the MVP (Most Valuable Person) Award[10] at the Denniz PoP Awards by a jury consisting of major producers and artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Tove Lo, Rami Yacoub and Max Martin. Fans from all over the world voted for her, and she was picked for her behind-the-scenes contribution, helping to form the classic Cheiron sound. Producer and jury member Jacob Schulze says "Without Nana, the Cheiron sound wouldn't have sounded like it did. She's been an invaluable part of the Cheiron story and deserves this prize more than anyone else."[11]


Cancer


In August 2009, Hedin was diagnosed with Tongue cancer after being wrongly diagnosed by several specialist in 2008. The tumor was in stage 4 when rightly diagnosed and Hedin finally got help. The tumor was life threatening at that time, she did survive but due to the massive radiotherapy treatment the singer was given, she has not performed ever since. In 2014, she started suffering from Osteoradionecrosis, jawbone death, because of the radiotherapy. The Swedish surgeons said that they would have to resect the complete mandible and that she would never be able to sing again. Hedin started a world wide search for second opinions to try and find a better surgery to save her voice. In 2022 M.A.S- a Swedish non-profit organization started a fundraiser on GoFundMe named "Save NaNa's Voice 2022" in order to finance Hedins journey to India for reconstructive jaw surgery. Hedins fans all over the world helped to donate and the fundraising is on going.
