For Vår Jord - Karoline Krüger

Karoline Krüger was born in Bergen (Norway) on 13 February 1970 - exactly 52 years ago today. Her first TV appearance was at the age of 11, in a youth show called 'Halvsju'. She got her breakthrough in 1988, first by winning the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix with the song 'For vår jord' ('For our earth'), while still a student at Langhaugen Skole (1986–89). This qualified her for the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 final, held that year in the Irish capital Dublin, where she finished in fifth place. 

Later that same year she released her debut CD, 'Fasetter'. Krüger is married to another familiar Norwegian singer Sigvart Dagsland, and together they have two daughters, Sophie (born in 1998) and Emma (born in 2002). Krüger continued to release albums until very recently, all of them in Norwegian. The Christmas album 'Jul', released in 2013, was recorded together with her husband.
