Annika Hedegaard Wedderkopp (born 14 December 2004), known mononymously as Annika, is a Danish actress and singer. As a child, she starred in The Hunt (2012) opposite Mads Mikkelsen. As a singer signed to Universal Music Denmark, she has charted three number-one songs in Denmark, starting in 2024 with "Sammen", a collaboration with Marstein. The song also reached number-one in Norway, marking her second after "Så længe jeg er sexy". Her debut album, AW, topped the Danish albums chart in 2025 and has been certified quadruple-platinum by IFPI Danmark.

Early life and education

Annika Hedegaard Wedderkopp was born on 14 December 2004 and grew up in Vejby in North Zealand.[2][3] At the age of six, she was cast as Klara in the Danish drama film The Hunt (2012); in the film, her character's lies lead to a male teacher (played by Mads Mikkelsen) being wrongly accused of sexually abusing her.[4][5] She subsequently had a small role in the film Man Divided (2017).[6]

Wedderkopp started writing songs at the age of seven, and competed in the 2017 edition of MGP Junior at the age of twelve.[7] In the song contest, she and classmate Maja Løve Nielsen entered with "Ikke mere", a song they wrote themselves.[8] In 2024, she completed her gymnasium education at Gribskov Gymnasium.[7][9]

Career

In March 2023, Wedderkopp started uploading music to TikTok just for fun under the alias Youngmammi, which led to her getting attention from the music industry.[7] Her posts usually feature acoustic covers or self-written songs while playing a grand piano.[9] Wedderkopp was offered a recording contract three months before finishing gymnasium.[1] She released her first single, "Knuser hjerter", in March 2024 through Universal,[9][1] which became the most-streamed song in Denmark on Spotify after a few days.[7] It reached the top five of the singles chart in Denmark and was followed up by her debut EP, Nye tider, released in May 2024.[7][10]

Her single "Så længe jeg er sexy" was successful in both Denmark and Norway, becoming her first number-one single in the latter.[11] The follow-up single "Sammen", a collaboration with Norwegian rapper Marstein, reached number-one in both countries.[11][12]

In October 2024, Wedderkopp won the P3 Guld award in the category of P3 Talentet, along with its prize of 100,000 DKK.[1] The next month, she won in the category of New Danish Name of the Year (Årets nye danske navn) at the Danish Music Awards.[13] She was also nominated in the category of Danish Hit of the Year for "Knuser hjerter".[14] At age 20, she became the youngest performer to open the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival on 2 July 2025, together with 22 year old Norwegian Marstein.[15] In December 2025, she was named as the third most-streamed artist in Denmark on Spotify.[16]
