Ane Brun

Ane Brun, born Ane Kvien Brunvoll on 10 March 1976 in Molde, Norway, is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and guitarist known for her distinctive, breathy vocal style and intimate, atmospheric songwriting. She relocated to Sweden early in her career, which became central to her artistic base.

Brun built her reputation on delicate, folk-inflected pop that blends acoustic instrumentation with subtle electronic and orchestral textures, often exploring themes of love, vulnerability, and self-reliance. Her music has drawn comparisons to other Scandinavian singer-songwriters for its restrained, emotionally direct quality, and she has been noted for controlling much of her own creative output, including running her own record label.

Songs such as «Halo», «By Your Side», and «All My Tears» showcase her range from stark, minimal ballads to fuller, more textured arrangements, while «Springa» and the Norwegian-language «Du Gråter Så Store Tåra» reflect her continued connection to her home country's language and folk sensibility. Over the years she has also been recognized for collaborations with other Scandinavian artists, further establishing her as a respected figure in Nordic singer-songwriter and indie-pop circles.
