Whigfield is an Italian dance act fronted by Danish singer, former model, songwriter and record producer Sannie Charlotte Carlson (born 11 April 1970), known by her various stage names including Whigfield, Sannie, or simply Naan.[3][4][5][6][7] She is best known for her 1993 single "Saturday Night", which became an international hit the following year.
Based in Italy at the time, Carlson worked with Italian producer Larry Pignagnoli and "Saturday Night" entered the top five in Italy.[1][8] The single "Another Day" also managed to peak at number three in Italy as well.[9] The single "Sexy Eyes" also charted in a number of other markets, along with "Another Day" and "Think of You" which entered the top ten in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, and her native Denmark.[10][11][12][13]
She competed in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2018 with the song "Boys on Girls" but did not qualify for the superfinal.[14]
On 16th February 2024, Carlson was filmed in Spain performing her best-known hit, with her voice sounding noticeably different from the one featured in the original recording, while the voice in the original recording sounds very similar to Ann Lee's live performances of the same song. The many rumours about Ann Lee being the voice behind Whigfield had been previously addressed by Italian record producer Mauro Farina, who had worked with Ann Lee on several occasions, when he stated, "she lent her voice for Whigfield and it was a worldwide success."[15][16][17]
