Annika Wedderkopp (born 2004), known by her stage name Annika, is a Danish actress and singer. As a child, she starred in The Hunt (2012) opposite Mads Mikkelsen. In 2024, her song "Sammen" with Marstein reached number-one in Denmark as well as in Norway, where it became her second number-one in the country after "Så længe jeg er sexy".
Annika Wedderkopp was born in 2004 and grew up in Vejby in North Zealand.[2] 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.[3][4] She subsequently had a small role in the film Man Divided (2017).[5]
Wedderkopp started writing songs at the age of seven, and competed in the 2017 edition of MGP Junior at the age of twelve.[6] In the song contest, she and classmate Maja Løve Nielsen entered with "Ikke mere", a song they wrote themselves.[7] In 2024, she completed her gymnasium education at Gribskov Gymnasium.[6][8]
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.[6] Her posts usually feature acoustic covers or self-written songs while playing a grand piano.[8] Wedderkopp was offered a recording contract three months before finishing gymnasium.[1] She released her first single, "Knuser hjerter", in March 2024 through Universal,[8][1] which became the most-streamed song in Denmark on Spotify after a few days.[6] 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.[6][9]
Her single "Så længe jeg er sexy" was successful in both Denmark and Norway, becoming her first number-one single in the latter.[10] The follow-up single "Sammen", a collaboration with Norwegian rapper Marstein, reached number-one in both countries.[10][11]
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.[12] She was also nominated in the category of Danish Hit of the Year for "Knuser hjerter".[13] 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.[14]
