After graduating from Holte Gymnasium in 1984, she returned to the United States where she studied piano under Lars Brogaard at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

While continuing to study music at the University of Copenhagen, she associated with the female singing group Go Four where she developed her flair for jazz.

Moving increasingly into jazz, she was recognized for albums including Blush (2006), Magic Words (2007) and It's Love We Need (2009).
