Rat City’s debut artist single “Kind of Love” was instantly catapulted to  #1 on Shazam and #1 on Norwegian radio for 7 consecutive weeks.  You can easily see why when you check out this track! The song has crossed 35 million streams, which is no easy feat, and spent 20 weeks on Spotify’s top 20 charts. The band has also collaborated with major talents Kiesza and Tungevaag. Talk about some major success.
 
And now let’s talk about that leader, Dagny. She sprang to success with the upbeat and contagious single ‘Backbeat’  in 2015 and hasn’t stopped since then! That track broke around the world on Top 40 radio and made her a star. Billboard, The Guardian, and NYLON have all provided their support for Dagny. She went on to co-write Katy Perry’s smash ‘Never Really Over.’ Finally, Dagny collaborated with luminaries such as Seeb, Steve Aoki, NOTD, Wombats, and Crystal Fighters. She is now one of Norway’s leading, most respected, and most exciting artists with over a billion combined streams to her name.
 

Regarding ‘BAD’s empowering message, Dagny states:  

“I wrote “Bad” in Stockholm with Gustav Nyström and Hilda Stenmalm, before I went into the studio with Rat City who really helped bring the song to life. For me, the song is about finally standing up for yourself and being strong and bold in a challenging situation. It’s quite a dramatic song and lyric, which is quite the opposite of what I am, but sometimes it’s fun to be a more extreme version of yourself when you write. When I went into the studio I poured my heart into the song and took on the role of being BAD, I think it worked well and I’m really happy with how it’s turned out.  I’m not one to hold a grudge and sometimes letting it all go in the studio is the way to stop that from happening.”
