Anja Elena Viken is, according to Bergenavisen, one of the standout new acts of the last year. After putting up only two songs on her Urørt profile (NRK equivalent of BBC Introducing) she already had Made Management (Young Dreams, John Olav Nilsen og Gjengen) and Up Front Artist (Fjorden, Baby!, 120 Days, Lindstrøm) on board. According to Bergenavisen she is the middle ground between Bergen’s hottest acts John Olav Nilsen and Razika and is a long awaited shot in the arm for the Bergen music scene. Anja Elena Viken is near the top of Musikknyheters ones-to-watch in 2012 and with tracks like “Gatekredibilitet” and “Klæssar deg ned”, even at this early stage it looks like she’s got a big year ahead of her.
