Dagny was nominated for the Spellemannprisen Årets Nykommer (Newcomer of the Year) in 2016 and Årets Låtskriver (Songwriter of the Year) in 2018.[5] Her songs "Backbeat", "Wearing Nothing" and "Somebody" were nominated for the Spellemannprisen Årets Låt (Song of the Year) in 2016, 2017, and 2020, respectively.[5]
Early life
Dagny was born and raised in Tromsø, Norway.[6][7] She is the youngest daughter of vocalist Marit Sandvik and jazz musician Øystein Norvoll.[8] She describes her childhood as very musical.[9] She has two older siblings, Juna and Bjørn.[7] At 15 years old, Bjørn was diagnosed with blood cancer, which played a big role in her life.[10]
Dagny enjoyed performing from an early age although was unsure about following a career in music.[7] Her first performance was at one of her parents' shows when she was six years old, where she performed a song she learned in school.[11] Her interest was sparked following a songwriting assignment at school.[6] Following encouragement from a teacher and her family, she began song writing and performing in her hometown.[6] She found her love of music from The Spice Girls, inspired by Mel B.[4][12]
Career
2008–2014: Early career
Dagny began her music career performing locally in Tromsø. With her friend June Cecile Egerton, she formed the duo 'June Og Dagny' and posted the songs "Don`t Know Why" to YouTube in March 2009 and "My Ghost" to YouTube in September 2009.[13][14][15] In 2010, Dagny moved to the United Kingdom in "the spirit of adventure"[7][6] with June remaining in Tromsø. In retrospect she stated she felt lucky to experiment with music in her hometown, "[playing] live in peace for years before getting exposed to outside pressure."[16]
In 2015, Dagny felt her music career had stalled, stating "things weren't really going anywhere."[22] She enrolled in university in Tromsø to undertake a degree in digital media design.[22][12] After studying for six months, she returned to music following encouragement from her family.[7]
In the autumn of 2015, Dagny recorded "Backbeat" in a studio near London Bridge with her then-bandmates, two English musicians, "Harry and Richard".[23][10] Described as having a "pounding indie pop vibe",[22] it caught the attention of Zane Lowe at Apple Music 1 station and appeared on the Spotify New Music playlist, achieving 300,000 plays in a few days.[10][6] By mid-2016, the song had accrued over 20 million plays on Spotify.[10][24] The acoustic version of the song was featured in the Grey's Anatomy episode "True Colors."[25]
In 2016, Dagny released her follow-up single "Fool's Gold", which was the fourth most played on the Norwegian radio station NRK P3.[15] The same year she released her EP, Ultraviolet.[27]The Guardian described it as an "exuberant but pensive riot of pounding drums, live instrumentation and just enough electronic flourishes to give it a modern edge, combined with some truly extraordinary songwriting."[10]
In May 2017, Dagny performed at The Great Escape Festival.[28] That month, she also released the single "Wearing Nothing".[29] In October 2017, she released "Love You Like That".[30] She received international recognition as 'One To Watch' for 2017 from both Billboard[31] and VEVO.[32] Dagny also recorded a cover version of Rachel Stevens' version of "More, More, More" which was used by Target in a commercial campaign introducing its line of new products in the fall of 2017.[33][34] Dagny was featured on the singles "Man In The Moon" by LCAW released in February 2017 and "Summer of Love" by NOTD released in August 2017.
The singles "That Feeling When" and "Used To You" were released in 2018, alongside a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide." Dagny also partnered with Seeb for the single "Drink About", which topped Norwegian charts.
Dagny was featured on the singles "Turn" by The Wombats released in May 2018 and "Hit Your Heart" by Steve Aoki released in March 2019. The latter proved popular on club circuits, with Harper's Bazaar praising the song, urging readers to "add [it] to your weekend party playlist ASAP."[35] In May 2019, Katy Perry released "Never Really Over", which she said was inspired by Dagny's song "Love You Like That" and Dagny received songwriting credits on the song.[3]
Dagny and Republic Records parted ways over disagreements on album content, leading Dagny to develop her own label, Little Daggers.[6][36]
Dagny released her debut album Strangers / Lovers partially in May 2020 and partially in October 2020. The album launched in two parts, reflecting the different phases of a romantic relationship and the associated nostalgic feelings,[37] with Dagny describing how "the idea of going from strangers to lovers and then back to strangers is brutal."[36] Side A tracks the beginnings of a relationship, with bright and upbeat songs like "Come Over" and "Somebody."[37] Side B had a more melancholic focus relating to the end of a relationship, as evident in the tracks "Please Look At Me" and "It's Only A Heartbreak."[37] Thematically, Dagny also stated she was inspired by the long periods of day and night in northern Norway, stating "I wanted to make something that had both a light and a dark side. Side A is upbeat like summer, while Side B feels more like Autumn.”[36] Some of the songs were inspired by relationship elements in old films and TV shows that Dagny enjoyed growing up.[36] The song "Coulda Woulda Shoulda" is based on the episode of the same name from the American TV series Sex and the City (Season 4, Episode 11),[36] while the song "It's Only A Heartbreak" is based on the classic film Casablanca.[36]Strangers / Lovers was described as "one of 2020's most assured debuts."[22] The album peaked at number 2 on the Norwegian Albums Top 40.[38] The second song of the album, "Somebody", won Årets Låt (Song of the Year) for P3 Gull.[2]
Dagny starred in Season 2 of the Netflix series Home for Christmas in December 2020, as the character Nurse Lisa.[39] The acoustic version of her hit single "Somebody" and the song "Bye Bye Baby" from Strangers / Lovers were also used in the show.[40]
In January 2021, Dagny performed her catalogue with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra to celebrate its 75th birthday.[41]
Dagny co-performed the song "Pretty" in December 2021 with fellow Norwegian artist Astrid S for the soundtrack to the romantic comedyThe Hating Game (2021). The song peaked at number 10 on the Norwegian Singles Top 20. Her song "Somebody" also formed part of the soundtrack.[42]
In February 2022, Dagny signed a publishing contract with Sony Music.[43] In June 2022, Dagny released "Brightsider".[44] Dagny released "Highs & Lows" in October 2022. The stripped back ballad diverged from previous synth and anthemic sounds, with Dagny describing the love song as "one of the most raw" she has ever performed.[45]
In November 2022, Dagny collaborated with Kygo on the "cathartic breakup" synth-pop song "Lonely Together".[46]

In December 2023, Dagny played at Oslo Spektrum in her largest headline show to date. The show was sold out and featured Synne Vo as the opening act and Astrid S as a co-performer during the song "Pretty".[49][50][51]
Her second studio album, Elle was released in June 2024. It contains 8 tracks including "Heartbreak in the Making" (which peaked at number 19 in Norway),[52][53][54] "Same Again (For Love)", "Strawberry Dream", and "Ray-Bans."[55][56][57][58]
Artistry
Dagny often utilizes a pop music technique known as one-note melodies, created by having one note surrounded by various harmonies, to construct catchy songs.[59]
Dagny states her musical preference falls around "pop songs with a little bit of an indie, left of center vibe." and that her upbringing in northern Norway has influenced her approach to both music and life, being "tough on the outside but warmhearted on the inside."[16]
Dagny stated that during the song writing process she asks herself: "What do I have to say? What do I have to tell?", saying that it is important for her songs to have meaning.[7]
Personal life
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dagny moved to Oslo, living with her sister and her sister's boyfriend, who is also her drummer.[60]
On an AMA on Reddit, Dagny shared that she enjoys outdoor pursuits including swimming, hiking and bicycling, as well as vintage shopping, and that her favorite color is pink, reflected in the cover of her debut album Strangers / Lovers.[16]
Dagny is a brand ambassador for the cosmetic company Clarins.[16]
