Today, Sony Music Publishing Scandinavia announced the signing of Norwegian singer-songwriter and popstar Dagny to a worldwide publishing agreement.
Dagny has quickly become one of Norway’s most exciting artists, amassing over 750 million streams and earning critical acclaim from Nylon, Billboard, The Guardian and Harper’s Bazaar, to name a few. Among her many achievements, Dagny was nominated for both Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2019 Spellemannprisen Awards (Norwegian Grammys) for the third year in a row. She was also named one of Billboard’s ‘10 Pop Stars To Watch’ and VEVO’s ‘Ones To Watch’ in 2017.
In 2020, Dagny released her long-awaited debut album Strangers/Lovers, featuring her popular single “Come Over” and her award-winning mega hit “Somebody,” which spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on Norwegian radio and in the Top 5 on Spotify. She was also featured in the newly released single “Pretty” by Astrid S, which was released in December of 2021. Dagny has sold out both local and international headliner shows, as well as summer festivals including Øya, British Summer Time and Isle of White.
Dagny said, “I’m super excited to be joining the wonderful Sony Music Publishing family! Over the last year I’ve had the opportunity to get to know the team and I’m very much looking forward to working with them all.
I’m especially happy they share my vision of continuing to develop my artist career as well as helping me progress as a songwriter for other artists. I’d like to thank Lasse and Johnny in particular for their support and guidance already! I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.”
“We’ve been big fans of Dagny for a long time, and it is with much joy and excitement we welcome her to Sony Music Publishing.” added Lasse Ewald, VP A&R Scandinavia, Head of European Song Pitching, SMP Scandinavia.
