The singer Ida Corr has been musically active ever since she received her first drum set at the age of 6. She began to sing seriously when she was 9, and at the age of 11 she won the National Danish Radio’s Children Melody Grand Prix (at the time when it was still good!)

In the mid of 2007, Fedde Le Grand remixed the track “Let Me Think About It” and throughout the summer and autumn the track conquered charts in both Europe, Asia and North America. To name a few examples, the track reached number 2 on the English single hit chart (only surpassed by Sugababes) as well as being the most played number on English TV and the national English radio channel Radio 1.
