Nanne Grönvall (maiden name: Nordqvist) was
born on May 18 in 1962, and says she always has been
interested in music. Her first band, MTV, was formed in the
late 70s, but did not get any break and soon disbanded.
Her record début came in 1985, together with the group Sound
Of Music, which she joined after Peter Grönvall and
Angelique Widengren had put an ad for a singer in a local
store. The title of the song was "Underbart är kort"
(Wonderful things don't last long).

In 1992 Nanne and Peter decided to get married and
the same year they formed the group One More Time together with
Maria Rådsten and Therese Löf. In 1992,
both of the latter took part in Melodifestivalen with
songs written by Peter and Nanne, coming 3rd and 6th
respectively. In 1995 Peter, Nanne and Maria co-wrote
"Det vackraste", which Cecilia Vennersten took to 2nd place
in Melodifestivalen and finally in 1996 Peter, Nanne and
Maria won the contest as One More Time, giving Sweden a
3rd place in Oslo with "Den vilda".

In 1998, Nanne went back to the Melodifestival-scene
with "Avundsjuk" (Jealous) dressed up as a female version of
Star Trek's Mr. Spock. The song came 4th but was a big hit
and a critically acclaimed album called "Cirkus Homo Sapiens"
followed. "Svarta Änkan" (in which a non specified
woman is described like the Black Widow spider, that kills
and eats the male after the mating) was submitted for the
2000 Melodifestival, but never managed to slip through
the needle's eye. It has been a radio hit in Sweden during
the summer.
