The singer of Saturday Night who does not know where the choreography that only Spaniards dance came from

• The 90s What happened to these singers who killed you 25 years ago, whose hits you have sung and of whom nothing has been heard since

It's easy, Los del Río invented it and, 29 years after its launch, Sevillians continue to repeat it in every corner of Europe.

But the same does not happen with

Some say that she was born in a club in Valencia, others in a gym.

But the truth is

Even so, Whigfield could not be happier that

However, Sannie Carlson -as Whigfield is really called- doesn't cut (almost) with any other topic.

Not even with his current career profitability.

The Danish singer, currently. CEDIDA

was released in the summer of '93, 29 years ago.

Why do you think it is still in the repertoire of all Spanish parties? I think it is because it is similar to a lullaby.

It's easy to remember, the melody is very catchy and it's a fun song.

And parents teach it to their children!

In fact, now I'm seeing three generations of families at festivals singing the song and I really feel very blessed.

Before, when I had to do the promo for the song, in the 90s, I was a bit bored singing it.

But now when I do it in front of a real audience, I don't get bored at all. I want you to tell me a little bit about your life before

When did you start singing?

I know she was born in Denmark and then moved to Milan... I come from a very musical background, where a lot of my family played some kind of instrument.

For example, my grandfather made me a violin when I was four years old and began to teach me... But, the truth is that now I play it very badly.

On the other hand, I was always interested in singing and I learned to sing at school.

But, when I grew up, I moved to Milan to pursue a career in fashion... I ended up working as a model and doing public relations for different clubs in Bologna.

And that's where I met Davide Riva, who worked with Larry Pignagnoli, who was my producer.

Davide told me that they were looking for new singers, so I went to his studio to audition. And the first time he heard

Did you imagine that it could be a global hit? No, I never thought it would be something so big.

I mean, I knew it was a different song, but I didn't know that it was going to play on all the radio stations everywhere.

In fact, at first, my label struggled to gain attention outside of Italy. After becoming a phenomenon, his name became synonymous with success.

In fact, he released albums until 2012. Why did he stop? Let's just say he wasn't worth it anymore.

my last album

It didn't sell very well, so I started touring again.

After eurodance stopped being a trend, there is still money to "collect".

But honestly, nothing like what happened in the 90s. In recent years he has dedicated himself to writing songs for other artists.

Can you tell me who you've written songs for? Yes, it's true.

A while ago I had a conversation with my producer about a possible change of direction and he helped me start composing and writing songs.

That's how I met artists like Benny Benassi In-grid and other singers from the dance music scene. Still, I know that in 2018 she decided to resume her singing career, but under the name of Sannie, not Whigfield.

Why? In 2014, I moved to the UK,

- and there I started working with my new producer.

We started writing house music, because we both loved it and then I felt like it was time for a change... Because I wasn't that young anymore and I wanted to sign my name.

I was signed by Armada Music and managed to release two singles

and

.

But, later, I decided to make my own label, which is called Sanniepop, and with it I released the song

.

But in 2020 he released a single again under his artistic pseudonym... Yes.

Right when she started the covid thing, I released a song like Whigfield, called

, which landed twice on the top club charts, even though most of them were closed.

That's why I'm very grateful for how well the song was received. And is there anything you want to tell about your personal life? I've been with my partner Marco Baroni for nine years and we don't have children.
