Ånnevik grew up in Ridabu, near Hamar, and was involved in music and theatre during her formative years. In the spring of 2009 she produced a demo with her own songs, and sent it to Grappa Music. This resulted in her receiving the fourth “New Artist Prize” from Grappa Music, following in the footsteps of Siri Nilsen, Gjermund Larsen and Valkyrien Allstars. The jury gave the following ground for awarding the prize to Ånnevik. Ånnevik’s first record, Synlige hjerteslag, was formed together with producer Andreas Mjøs (Jaga Jazzist, Adjagas, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra). It was voted the best Norwegian-language album of the year by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation’s programme “Norsk på Norsk” on the radio station P1, and was featured on lists of the year’s best albums by the TV show “Lydverket” and the newspaper Vårt Land, among others. She presented a very successful concert at the By:Larm festival in 2011, and was the opening act for the artist Odd Nordstoga in several of Norway’s largest cities. Her singles “Strået” and “Snubletråd” were in heavy rotation on the P1 radio programme in 2011. Ånnevik was nominated for a Spellemannspris, the Norwegian Grammy, both as newcomer of the year and in the folk category. She was also the first winner of the “Lyspunkt” award, which was newly established by the Norwegian Lyricist Fund for a first album, and received the Vidar Sandbeck Cultural Award, “Regnbågåbrua”.
In 2012 she received glowing reviews for a joint concert tour throughout south-eastern Norway together with the group Narum, among others, called “Trassviser og Tordenskrell”, a sort of Norwegian dialect version of the Rolling Thunder Revue of the 1970s. Later that year she participated in a project based on the works of poet Hans Børli together with the band “In the Country”, the duet “Akurat hær, akurat nå” together with the artist Ravi, and the song “Revevise” on a tribute album to Thorbjørn Egner, Vi har den ære. She collaborated with Andreas Mjøs on the song “Magefølelsen” for the documentary Beretninger om begynnelser, which was aired on TV2 in the spring of 2012.
Frida Ånnevik’s second album, "Ville Ord", was released in September 2013.

Tenkt meg om
Frida Ånnevik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
så sint at døra smalt igjen.
Men at jeg elsker deg, det vet du.
Den krigen her, det var jeg som starta den.
For jeg gikk, gikk for langt,
og jeg vet at
sånne sår som det her lett blir arr.
så jeg ber deg:
si noe like kjipt til meg.
Jeg skulle tenkt igjennom det jeg sa,
det går i svart og da stikker orda av.
Jeg klarer ikke å la være å si i fra,
jeg skulle tenkt meg om, jeg skulle tenkt litt mere over det jeg sa.
Jeg har jo sagt at jeg er lei meg,
et unnskyld holder ikke nå.
Du vet jeg tviler når det gjelder,
men er det oss jeg tviler på?
Jeg tok alt det vi var og bare slapp det,
og jeg håper det ikke er slutt.
To biter som må limes sammen,
men jeg stakk deg, det stikker djupt.
Jeg skulle tenkt igjennom det jeg sa,
det går i svart og da stikker orda av.
Jeg klarer ikke å la være å si i fra,
jeg skulle tenkt meg om, jeg skulle tenkt litt mere over det -
Jeg tenker jo på tinga som ble sagt,
det kom ut feil, jeg mente bare at
Da er jeg mer ærlig enn jeg har godt av,
jeg skulle tenkt meg om, jeg skulle tenkt litt mere over det jeg sa.
Jeg sa ting jeg ikke sku' sagt,
for jeg er i ferd med å komme for nær,
det er sant, jeg vil vi skal prøve igjen,
jeg gjør alt for å få prøve igjen.
Jeg skulle tenkt igjennom det jeg sa,
det går i svart og da stikker orda av,
og jeg klarer ikke å la være å si i fra,
jeg skulle tenkt meg om, jeg skulle tenkt litt mere over det
Jeg tenker jo på tinga som ble sagt,
det kom ut feil, jeg mente bare at
Da er jeg mer ærlig enn jeg har godt av,
jeg skulle tenkt meg om, jeg skulle tenkt litt mere over det jeg sa.
