Early life


Carlson was born in Skælskør, Denmark. She spent several years in Africa as a child before returning to her native country. Before singing Carlson worked as a model and studied music.[1] Carlson played in a duo[7] before she met the producer Larry Pignagnoli and took on the name "Whigfield" as a tribute to her school music teacher.[1][15]

Sannie Charlotte Carlson (Slagelse; 11 de abril de 1970), más conocida por su nombre artístico Whigfield, es una cantautora y productora musical danesa. Comenzó siendo un proyecto musical italiano con la voz de la cantautora británica Annerley Gordon, (también conocida como Ann Lee), que fue secretamente la cantante real de estudio sin acreditar, solo acreditada como compositora desde el año 1993 hasta 2011, mientras Sannie, ejercía solo como modelo de Imagen o "lip sync model", para videos musicales, actuaciones en vivo, fotos y entrevistas. Este hecho fraudulento muy común en la década de los 90, causó una notable polémica en redes sociales comparándola en ocasiones con otros famosos fraudes de la música como Milli Vanilli o Corona (banda). [2][3] Conocida principalmente por su hit «Saturday Night».[1][4]
