Dicte

Dicte started to play at a very young age and first appeared in 1983 with original songs and tracks from Janis Joplin's repertoire. She played in the beginning with a band from Viborg, called Farandola, but in 1987 she moved to Aarhus, where she played in many different contexts, until 1989 when she formed the group Her Personal Pain. Shortly after the formation ran in and won the talent competition Vi har scenen - har I musikken.
This band released in 1990 a disk with six songs. They went in a tour across the country and therefore the group was well known in music circles, not so much the general public, despite
a successful concert at the Roskilde Festival in 1990. This band participated in a support disk for Amnesty International, and in 1992 finally appeared Her Personal Pains first independent album.

However, this group was disbanded in 1993, when Dicte went solo. Dicte first solo album was released in 1994, and was rewarded with a three annual grant from the State Arts Foundation. She has since released several albums with the original concept that makes Dicte to an energy of Danish music. She has not been afraid to try other genres such as jazz, classical and R & B, although rock is most evident in her music.

In addition, she has tried their hand at film and theater as an actor, right she has created music for theater pictured out. Gradually, Dicte assembled a band named The Sugarbones, where she plays guitar and sings along with, among other things her longstanding collaborator operational part that requests Gliemann on keyboards.

Dicte was nominated for Danish Music Awards 2007 as the Danish Singer of the Year.
