Liv Marit Wedvik

Liv Marit Wedvik was a Norwegian country rock singer. She was born in Skien, and began singing as an adult. When she started her solo career, the records came in rapid succession: Then He Kissed Me, Hitchin’ A Ride, Country Jul and Whatever You Say. Her first four albums sold about 200,000 combined, mostly in rural locations as she suffered from below-average reviews in the press.
After a falling out with her label until then, Showtime Records, she signed with EMI and issued her next albums on EMI subsidiary Odeon Records: Home Sweet Home and Riding out the Storm followed by Solid Ground.
Wedvik resided in Skien and had two children. She worked as a dentist's assistant outside of music. In 2006 she was also the presenter of the TV3 reality Ville vesten, and in 2007 she was a cast member of Skal [vi danse?]. She died in May 2015 near Risør from drowning.
