One of Norway’s most acclaimed and vital artists, Hanne Hukkelberg grew up surrounded by music and first started to strum and tap on instruments at the age of three. At high school she was discovered by doom-metalers Funeral, for whom she sang from 1999-2003, as she immersed herself in improvisation, jazz, metal, classical, electronica, rock and pop, establishing herself as a vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

In 2003, at the Norwegian University College of Music in Oslo, she met Kåre Chr. Vestrheim; a tutor who was to become a friend and producer as they began a musical relationship which saw Vestrheim set up Propeller Recordings to release her EP ‘Cast Anchor’, followed by debut album ‘Little Things’, unveiling Hanne’s atypical approach to pop, and her effortless ability to combine myriad genres with unusual arrangements, and her non-traditional instrumentation such as kitchen implements, flagpoles and bicycle wheels had many reaching for the thesaurus with one hand and the ‘repeat’ button with the other.

In 2005, The Leaf Label (UK) released ‘Cast Anchor’, followed by ‘Little Things’. By then, the international press weren’t so much sitting up and taking notice, as standing up and applauding. The Sunday Times recognized the album as one of their ten best of the year and New York’s Plug Independent Music Awards nominated her in the category Female Artist of the Year.
