## Artistry

### Music and Voice

Dagny is known for big production pop songs with a twist, even if it is disco or techno. She has yet to make a song in Norwegian.

### Influences

Dagny says a lot of old and new artists inspires her. Going from Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys, to Norwegian singer Eva Cassidy’s *Songbird* and *Imagine* which she got for Christmas at the age of 15 or 16, then she saw Eva Cassidy live on the television around the time. Sitting in a dark pub with her guitar, that made Dagny think "okey, I’ve got to start playing the guitar. I need to start singing songs.”
