Agnes Obel

Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel, born October 28, 1980, is a Danish singer-songwriter. Her debut album, Philharmonics, was released by PIAS Recordings on October 4, 2010, across Denmark, Norway, Germany, and other European territories. By February 2011, Philharmonics achieved gold certification. Her second album, Aventine, followed on September 30, 2013.

Born in Copenhagen into a musical family, Obel began playing the piano at a young age, inspired by her mother's performances of Bartók and Chopin. During her formative years, she also found significant influence in the work of Jan Johansson, whose jazz-infused interpretations of European folk melodies resonated with the young artist.
