Biography
Biography
Carina Jeanette Dahl (born 15 August 1985) is a Norwegian pop singer.
Biography
Dahl participated in Big Brother 2006, a joint program shared by broadcasters in Sweden and Norway. She was the last housemate to be voted off before the finale, spending a total of 107 days in the house.
Dahl has for many years worked as a glamour model and was voted "Årets gatebilbabe" in 2005 in Norway.
She has since established herself in Norway as a singer, with the label Stargate producing several of her songs, and has performed at events including the Norway Rock Festival. She reached the first semi-final of the Melodi Grand Prix 2011, the competition to select an act to represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Germany, with a song titled "Guns & Boys", but failed to progress further in the contest.
Dahl lived in Sweden for five years, where she worked with the record company TMC Entertainment, and in 2010 she released her first album Hot Child

In September 2012 her first single NLTO (Not Like the Others) was released by the record company daWorks Records.
Dahl is the daughter of Diesel Dahl, a member of the heavy metal band TNT.
