Annika Aakjær is a Danish singer/songwriter/actress. She's mainly known for her career as a singer - and for her fantastic stage-performance - which is a mix of her songs and stand-up comedy between the songs. She studied at Aalborghus Gymnasium, but dropped out to - as she says - study life instead.She released her first album "Lille filantrop" ("Little philanthropist") in 2008, and her second album "Missinær" ("Missionary") in 2010 on Playground Records. Both produced by Henrik Marstal. Both albums were very well received by Danish reviewers. Five and six stars pretty much all over, but none of the albums gave her a massive radio-hit. "Tyk" ("Fat") from the first album gave her enough attention to fill the small concert-halls, and the title-track from "Missionær" was a regular on the national Danish radio a few months after release. A third album will be released in 2012.In 2009 she won the acclaimed award "Steppeulven" as best, upcoming act.Annika was cast for the world's first theatre-musical "Come Together", entirely based on The Beatles songs. Also here she gained great success, and were referred to as a "main attraction" in the show in a TV review. Her acting-career includes various small parts, until landing the role as Daimi in the 2011 film about the Danish comedian and actor Dirch Passer.
