Artist Information

Biography

Danish Oh Land, aka 23 year old Nanna Oland Fabricius, is the fast growing new name on the progressive music scene in Denmark. Her debut is impressive, not least because Nanna had never composed music until she began making her debut album "Fauna" which will be released in the beginning of 2009. And yet she has programmed and arranged all elements on the album herself. With international names such as Thomas Knak (Bjork, People Press Play, System among others), Kasper Bjorke and Peder (award winning producer) all playing a vital part of the record. All this has made world famous DJ Kjeld Tolstrup praise her obvious talents on national radio and several articles and international blogs have named her "the one to watch" on the Danish music scene.

Furthermore, very prominent international guest musicians appear on Fauna: BenMo from the lauded Coco Rosie, the noted theramin player Dorit Chrysler and classical violinist and composer Davide Rossi (who has worked with names such as Brian Eno, The Verve, Goldfrapp and Coldplay) along with Nanna's own mother, Bodil Oland.

When Nanna in 2004, then aged 19, finished her education at the Stockholm Ballet School a back injury put an abrupt end to her promising career as a ballerina. After having dedicated all her life to dancing Nanna now had to find a new goal in life. And her ear turned its attention towards music.

Nanna grew up in a home filled with music � her mother was an opera singer associated to the Danish Royal Opera and her father is an organist � so Nanna had a solid base to build her musical ambitions on.

Discography

Nannas debut album "Fauna" is released in early 2009.

The 1st single Audition Day is released in sep. 2008 and is available on Itunes.

Audition day is currently is streaming on The Danish National Radio, P3, and is voted to be a no. 2 on the Soundvenue High 5 list.

In the summer 2007 Nanna put her demos on Myspace under the name Oh Land and it didn�t take the professional music world long to find her. Kasper Bj�rke (producer and DJ, eg. in Filur) contacted Oh Land and quickly signed her to the up-and-coming feinschmecker indie label Fake Diamond Records. And since then Nanna has worked on her debut with some of the most established Danish producers; Thomas Knak, Peder and Kasper Bj�rke himself.

Setlist

My typical set list consists of 10- 12 songs. And a concert usually lasts between 40 minutes and an hour.

During the making of Fauna, Oh Land has developed a striking visual live expression, containing elements such as owl costumes, umbrella choreographies, a flowerfilled scenography and visuals made by successful Scandinavian artists Rikke Benborg and Eske Kath. Oh Land is known for delivering excellent live performances in all aspects from singing and dancing to making a whole enchanting narrative universe.
