Lene has always loved music. Her parents saw she was very musical, so   
when she turned 15 they gave her a guitar for Christmas. She really   
wanted to play this guitar so she took a few lessons, and started   
writing and composing songs. In front of her friends and her   
brother Rune she started to perform her songs and they really enjoyed   
her music...   

On a day in 1997 when she was on vacation, her friends called a local   
radio station (NRK Troms?. They told nothing about it to Lene. So Lene   
was very surprised to her what her friends had done for her, and   
they convinced her to record some songs in the studio. Later, when she   
again recorded a few numbers, her dad supposed to pick her up at the   
radio-station, but her dad couldn't, so she took the bus.   
In this bus a reporter recognized her and heard her songs. She spoke   
about ten minutes with him, and he told her that he wanted to send a   
tape of her to Virgin Records. He only needed her permission, so she   
said yes, and a few days later she was invited by Virgin to come   
and record a few numbers. The first song she released was "Unforgivable   
Sinner". The Norwegian people really liked this songs, because it   
became a huge hit. It was number one for 8 weeks.   
It also was the fastest selling single in Norway. After this great hit,   
she released her debut album "Playing my game". This album has already   
sold more then a milion copies.   

Her succes is becomming even bigger, because she released two singles
