She didn’t sing that often, but she proclaimed a lot of poetry. She had a high and clear voice. Sometimes a little too high… Venke’s favourite hobby as a little girl was to lie in the grass in the evening and look at the stars. She liked to listen to her father telling her about the names of the stars, and the history. Venke still likes to dream away with the sky as a ceiling. The star on the top to the left in Orion’s Belt is Venke’s favourite star. It lights the strongest in October around Venke’s birthday. Her father was a director at the local band, that her grandfather founded. In addition to playing drums in the band, Venke sang in several choirs and played the piano. After Venke graduated from Junior High School, her family moved to Houston, Texas, in USA. she had lived there before, but then she was too young to see and do so much. Inspired by her two older sisters, Venke applied to the music line at Vågsbygd School when the family returned to Norway. She was accepted without a song audition since she still was in Texas. “Luck” says Venke. Venke dreamed of being an artist. But she insists still to that she is a person first, then an artist. In the fall 1998 Venke started at the teachers academy in Oslo, and started to work with Dan Sundhordvik. Venke sang for several bands, and when the group S.P.O.O.N, with lead singer Erik Faber won the Norwegian Championship in Rock in 1999, she was on the stage as a backup singer.
