Erika Norwich (born 20 October 1999) is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.

## Early life

[edit]

Norwich was born on 20 October 1999 in Trondheim.[1][2]

## Musical career

[edit]

In 2016, as a 16-year-old, Norwich took part in the TV show Idol, in which she reached the semi-finals.[3] In 2018, she studied at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts for around a year before dropping out and returning to Norway.[4] At the Melodi Grand Prix 2020, the Norwegian preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest, she took on a part in the song "Vertigo" performed by Thomas Løseth, without herself being listed as a participant.[5] Through her presence on social media such as TikTok, where she presents not only her music but also other videos from her life, her popularity began to increase.[6][7] With their song "Til lillebror", Norwich entered the Norwegian singles charts for the first time in 2022. Her debut EP was Fra hjertet til hodet og ut, released in October 2023. In January 2024, it was announced that she would take part in the Melodi Grand Prix 2024 together with Super Rob (later revealed to be Gaute Ormåsen) and the song "My AI".[8][9] With this song she was able to enter the Norwegian singles charts again.

## Musical style

[edit]

Norwich sings in Norwegian and English. Over time she began to write her Norwegian-language songs in her dialect. She cited singer Synne Vo, who also sings in a dialect, as her inspiration.[2]
