Anne Dorte Michelsen

Anne Dorte Michelsen is a Danish singer and composer. In Denmark, she first became known as a member of the groups Tøsedrengene and Venter på Far. Outside Denmark, her second solo record sold well in Norway, Sweden and Japan. Her popularity in Japan was due to the song "Fortrolighed" which was a title song on a popular Japanese TV-show. The exotic Danish language and the longing melancholy mood apparently made a resonance with the Japanese audience. As a leader, she released ten albums and published a book called Næste Dans.
