Career

Wroldsen's career started solely as a recording artist, but soon turned to writing music for others. As a songwriter, she has had great success, and today, she is internationally considered one of the most sought after in her field. She has won several BMI/ASCAP awards for her work, among BRIT award and Spellemannprisen nominations. Her songs have been used by the likes of Shakira, Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit, Zara Larsson, Rag'n'Bone Man, Sean Paul, David Guetta, James Arthur, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Madison Beer, Tinie Tempah, Tinashe, Anne-Marie, Little Mix, Olly Murs, The Pussycat Dolls, The Wanted, The Saturdays, Shontelle, Leona Lewis and One Direction.

Since 2013, the publishing interest of Ina Wroldsen’s catalog has been represented by Reverb Music/Reservoir Media Management.[3]

In recent years, Ina has also resumed her career as a recording artist. As part of Norwegian-Icelandic duo Ask Embla, together with Arnþór Birgisson. They released the album Northern Lights in 2013 in Norway. She has since continued her artist career under its own name. She released "Aliens (Her er jeg)" (2014), "Rebels" (2015) and in April 2016, "Lay It on Me". The latter was released as a collaboration with the Norwegian producer duo Broiler and climbed to No. 2 on the VG-lista singles chart.

In 2015, Calvin Harris and Disciples chose to release Ina's song "How Deep Is Your Love" using her vocals.[4] This was one of the year's most streamed/downloaded/played songs worldwide.

In 2016, she was one of the judges in the Norwegian version of Idol: Jakten på en superstjerne.[5] She has been the featured vocalist on various worldwide acclaimed DJs' records, including Sigma, Steve Aoki, "Breathe " by Jax Jones and the Martin Solveig song "Places".

In June 2017, she signed a record deal with Simon Cowell's Syco Music label.[6]

In August 2018 she released in partnership with Alok (DJ) "Favela" with his own vocals and inspired from a documentary about Latin American women.[7]
