Biography

Hegerland was discovered at age 8 by Fredrik Friis during a Christmas show where she was performing.[8] Hegerland's musical career took off in 1970 with "Mitt sommarlov" performed in Swedish (transl: My Summer Vacation) in the Scandinavian countries. It spent 22 weeks on Norway's singles chart, with three weeks at #1,[9] and the song was also a #1 hit in Sweden during fives weeks. In 1971 she released a single with German artist Roy Black; "Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein (It's beautiful to be in the world)" in German-speaking countries. The song was recorded both with German and Norwegian vocals. It sold over 2 million copies (of which more than 1.3 million came from Germany),[8] and spent 30 weeks on the singles chart (top peak #3) in Norway.

In total, she had four different albums on the Norwegian chart as a child star. The last one was released in 1973 (when she was 12 years old). She participated in the Norwegian final (for entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 1971), but did not win. She continued as a pop singer in Germany and Scandinavia for several years and then pursued an adult vocal career.

She met British musician Mike Oldfield while performing on his non-album single "Pictures in the Dark" in 1985. She also performed the songs "The Time Has Come", "North Point" and "When The Night's On Fire" on Oldfield's 1987 album Islands, and two of his biggest hit songs: "Pictures In The Dark" and Innocent, from his 1989 album Earth Moving. She and Oldfield lived together from 1985 to 1991 and they have two children, Greta and Noah. [1][10]

Until recently, she lived on Nesøya island near Oslo with her partner, Jock Loveband. In 1999, their daughter Kaja was born.

Hegerland released a new album called Starfish in 2011, a pop/rock album produced by Ronni Le Tekrø (TNT). This album was #1 for 39 weeks between November 2011 and November 2012, on Meteli.net, a Finnish downloading site.

Awards and nominations

At nine years old in 1970 she became the youngest person to ever appear in the Swedish Svensktoppen.[11] She has appeared on Billboard’s top ten in several countries, including Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and West Germany.[12][13][14] She was awarded the Norwegian gold record award for "Mitt sommarlov" (1970), which reached top rankings on VG-lista in Norway and Svensktoppen in Sweden. Another song, "Da er det skjønt å være til", appeared on VG-lista for 30 weeks in 1972.[1]

The German newspaper Bildzeitung awarded her song “Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein” to the Schlager of all time in Germany.[2]

On 8 August 2015 she was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.[15]
