At age seven, she began playing classical music, switching to pop music at age 14.[4] From age 11, she took classes in opera singing.[5] When she was a child, she was nicknamed "Dina", which she adopted as her stage name when entering the music industry.[6]
Career
Dina started writing songs in 2000,[7] initially writing in English, before switching to Norwegian.[6] She began her music career by engaging the Norwegian singer-songwriter Jahn Teigen's talent company Teigen Studio.[8][9] Later she signed with the Norwegian record label Tribe Records.[10][11] She was the first trance music artist in Norway to sing in Norwegian,[12] and also the first female Norwegian trance artist.[6]
Dina released four successful singles in 2003, including "Bli hos meg" ("Stay with me"), and "For evig min" ("Forever mine"). "Bli hos meg" was the first ever trance song in Norwegian, and topped the Norwegian charts for three weeks.[1][13] Despite being given the worst possible score, a dice throw of 1,[clarification needed] in a review by the newspaper Dagbladet, the song was a major hit.[14] The single sold to double platinum and stayed on the VG-lista Top 20 record chart for 21 weeks, the longest of any song in 2003. Her second single, "For evig min", stayed on VG-lista for 10 weeks and peaked at 4th place. Her first and only album Dina was released in November 2003, spending five weeks on VG-lista.[7][13][15] The album reached a peak position of 18th on the record chart.[15] The 11-track album was released by Universal Music,[16] and was given a positive review and a dice throw of 4 by the newspaper Dagsavisen.[17]
She released another single in 2004, called "Besatt" ("Obsessed").[13] In 2005 she released the single "Hvis" ("If"), which reached 5th place on the VG-lista Top 20 record chart and stayed on the chart for 13 weeks.[18][19][13] Her seventh single, "En sommernatts drøm" ("A summernight's dream"), was also released in 2005 and reached 17th place on VG-lista, staying on the chart for four weeks.[19][13][15] In addition, she collaborated with her then-boyfriend Diaz on the 2005 rap single "Ikke alene" ("Not alone"),[14][20] released by the label Nordic Records.[21] "Ikke alene" was included in Diaz' 2006 album Jessheimfanden.[22] In 2007 Dina re-released her debut single "Bli hos meg" in Swedish and English in collaboration with the musician Deejay Jay. "Bli hos meg" was relaunched by the Swedish record label Catchy Tunes on 20 June 2007 under the titles "Bli Hos Mig" and "Say Goodbye".[23]
