Girl in Red, whose real name is Marie Ulven Ringheim, was born on 16 February 1999 in Horten, Norway. She is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and music producer known for her indie pop project Girl in Red (stylised in lower case).
Her first EPs "Chapter 1" (2018) and "Chapter 2" (2019) were recorded in her bedroom and contain songs about romance and mental health. Her debut studio album "If I Could Make It Go Quiet" (2021), released via AWAL, was both critically and commercially successful, winning three Norwegian Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Girl in Red was labelled a queer role model by Paper and her singles "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" (2017) and "We Fell in Love in October" (2018) were certified gold in the USA in January 2021. In 2022, she received the Telenor Culture Prize for her "artistic independence and explicit messages of boundless love".
Marie Ulven Ringheim grew up with her sisters and her divorced parents. She described Horten as "quiet and kind of boring" in an interview with Triple J in October 2019. Her mother worked with technology and her father worked as a police officer. Her grandfather could play the guitar and piano; however, she grew up without any instruments in the house. During her school years, Ulven was curious about becoming a teacher before she was introduced to the guitar and songwriting at the age of 14.
