WHIGFIELD is the stage name of a lovely blonde lady of Danish origin,who has decided to make a mark in the history of pop-dance music. Her real name is Sannie Charlotte Carlson.
After leaving her native Skaelskar, she tried modelling but soon realised her true love was music. She studied music in Denmark and sang in her brother's group.
Needless to say her looks and powerful personality have helped her on her way in her career. When Larry Pignagnoli (who was already famous for launching Spagna to international success) found out about WHIGFIELD, he immediately recognised her star quality. Her first single "Saturday Night" went to n. 1 in Spain for 11 consecutive weeks and subsequently became a smash hit all over Europe, reaching the number one spot in the UK for four weeks running, as well as in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and other countries. It sold over two million copies.The WHIGFIELD legend gained impetus also with the help of her stunning live shows in clubs and discos all over Europe and Canada, where her records have all been major hits. The follow-up singles "Another Day" and "Think of You" were both top ten singles in the UK and many other countries around the world.
Her debut album, simply called "Whigfield", contains these singles, as well as her now famous ballad "Close to You".
The album was re-released with her fabulous cover of the Wham classic, "Last Christmas".
Her summer '96 single , "Sexy Eyes", also contained on the debut album, charted in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and South Africa. In Australia, it went to n.1!
The first single not included on the debut album, "Gimme, gimme" was released in autumn '96 and enjoyed vast success in Australia and South Africa, as well as in Europe.
November 1997 saw the world-wide release of the second album "Whigfield 2". After the dynamic success of "Baby Boy" and "No Tears To Cry", "Giving All My Love" was released in Europe at Easter 1998 and carried on right throughout the summer and into the autumn.
In 1999, Whigfield kicks off to a flying start with a new single, a cover of the famous Sixties' hit, "Be My Baby". A great song for a great artist.
When asked why she chose to do a cover, she replied, 'Be My Baby is a Whigfield tune that just happens to have been written before I was born!'
The year 2000 begins with a fantastic new single, "Doo Whop" released the world over.
"Whigfield 3" , the third album features the hit single, "Much More", already a Whigfield classic.
The fourth album "Whigfield 4" was released all over the world in 2002.
In 2003 Whigfield has been constantly touring UK , Germany and Austria. She has appeared as a special guest on UK Channel Four's 'Little Friends' and posed for as a 'schoolboy crush' in the UK edition of Maxim in the autumn, looking as great as ever.
