Ane Brun (IPA ænə brun), real name Ane Brunvoll (born 10 March 1976), is a Norwegian singer/songwriter, born and raised in Molde, Norway. She lives in Stockholm, Sweden. After a few years of numerous live stints in Sweden and Norway and several non-official EP releases Ane Brun has gained her own fan-base and her first official album - Spending Time With Morgan was released at the end of May, 2003 in Scandinavia, and in various European countries in the fall of 2003. The album was released via Ane’s own label “DetErMine Records” (“ThoseAreMine Records”) that Ane co-owns with Swedish musician Ellekari Larsson and her band The Tiny, and licensed to V2 Music.
A Temporary Dive builds on the first album’s success, and is full of songs reflecting on the events following Ane’s breakthrough. The Fight Song records what a struggle it has been, while My Lover Will Go is a haunting tale of woe. One song, Song No.6, features Ane’s good friend, Canadian Ron Sexsmith.
Ane started her musical career fairly late. It wasn’t until she had turned 21 that she took her family’s old acoustic guitar to Oslo where she then lived. She quickly found a new best friend in the instrument and for the next two three years she taught herself songs by favourites acts Ani DiFranco, Joni Mitchell, Ben Harper, Nick Drake etc. In the process she began to develop her own style of playing the guitar.
