Early life

Denig grew up in a musical family; her father played in rock bands while a university student, her mother is a classically trained ballerina, and her paternal grandmother was an opera singer. Denig attended The Breskanan School, a private art-oriented elementary school. While attending the school, Denig began performing in musical theatre, and also became interested in acting. She graduated in 2011, and began attending the Hederhelm School of Drama and Thespianism, where she studied musical theatre. She graduated high school in 2015.

Career
Denig began her acting career in 2011, when she was cast as Malina Sandsk on the teen comedy-drama Havershom, after series creator Elsabet Samelsen went to local Hederhelm conservatories looking for actors for the show. Denig acted in the role for the first five seasons of the show, being the show's protagonist during the fifth season. Denig departed from the show in 2013.

After leaving the show, Denig announced that she'd be putting her acting career on hold in order to pursue "other ventures". It was later announced that she was signed to record labels Hederhelm Sounds and Mason Music Resha. Denig's debut single, "Yesterday", was released in early-2014. It became a modest success in Resha. Her second single, "Superficial", was released two months later, and became a top ten hit. Her debut studio album, Rebelliana, was released at the end of that year, and reached the top five. She promoted the album with The Rebelliana Tour, which performed shows in four countries.

In March 2017, she released the lead single to her upcoming second studio album, "Never Give Up", which became a chart-topping hit in Resha and Kypa. Her sophomore album will be released in summer 2017.
