Whigfield is an Italian dance act fronted by Danish singer, former model, songwriter and record producer Sannie Charlotte Carlson (born 11 April 1970), known by her various stage names including Whigfield, Naan, or simply Sannie.[3][4][5][6][7] She is best known for her 1993 single "Saturday Night", which became an international hit the following year.
Based in Italy at the time, Carlson worked with Italian producer Larry Pignagnoli and "Saturday Night" entered the top five in Italy.[1][8] The single "Another Day" also managed to peak at number three in Italy as well.[9] The single "Sexy Eyes" also charted in a number of other markets, along with "Another Day" and "Think of You" which entered the top ten in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, and her native Denmark.[10][11][12][13]
She competed in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2018 with the song "Boys on Girls" but did not qualify for the superfinal.[14]
Early life
Carlson was born in Skælskør, Denmark. She spent several years in Africa as a child before returning to her native country. Before singing Carlson worked as a model and studied music.[1] Carlson played in a duo[7] before she met the producer Larry Pignagnoli and took on the name "Whigfield".[1][15]
