Lene Nystrom Biography

Lene Nystrøm Rasted was born Lene Grawford Nystrøm on 2 October 1973 in Tønsberg, Norway. She is best known as the former lead vocalist for pop-dance group Aqua.
During her teenage years Lene developed an interest in performing and began her adult life as a barmaid and model. During this time she did some performing and was spotted in 1994 by René Dif singing on a cruise ship. He approached her and she became the lead vocalist for the group which was initially called Joyspeed.

She would remain with the group until 2001 when they split up due to personal differences, mainly between Lene and René. By this time she had begun a relationship with Søren Rasted, and married him soon after.

In 2003 Lene released her first and (so far) only album, Play With Me, which performed poorly in Scandinavia. In her home town of Tønsberg it only sold three copies, and it only made number 74 in the Norwegian charts. This lacklustre performance did not affect her single sales, though, with "It's Your Duty" peaking at number 3 in Denmark. The follow-up "Pretty Young Thing" was another potential hit, but was never released, as she became pregnant with Søren's child in 2004. In January of 2005 she would give birth to a girl, who was named India.

Lene's most recent release was in early 2005, when she performed vocals on the Danish tsunami 2004 single, which made number one in Denmark. She also contributed to Søren's Lazyboy TV album by featuring on the track "I Love NY", although it was removed from the album for undisclosed reasons at the last minute.
