Girl in Red

Marie Ulven Ringheim, known professionally as Girl in Red, is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and producer who became one of the most influential indie pop artists of her generation. Born on February 16, 1999, in Horten, Norway, she began writing and producing music in her bedroom as a teenager, teaching herself guitar and music production through online tutorials.

Her breakout came in 2018 with the release of “i wanna be your girlfriend,” a tender love song that resonated deeply with LGBTQ+ listeners and quickly became an anthem within the community. The phrase “do you listen to girl in red?” became a widely recognized cultural code for identifying as queer. Her follow-up single “we fell in love in october” further solidified her status as a beloved indie artist, amassing hundreds of millions of streams on Spotify.

Girl in Red released her debut album “if i could make it go quiet” in April 2021 through AWAL. The album explored themes of mental health, love, and identity, receiving praise from critics and debuting at number two on the Norwegian albums chart. She followed this with extensive touring, including performances at major festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury, building a passionate live following.

By 2026, Girl in Red has established herself as both a commercial and cultural force in indie pop. Her honest songwriting about mental health and queer identity has earned her a devoted global fanbase. Brand partnerships, sold-out headline tours, and consistent streaming revenue have contributed to her estimated net worth of $4 million. She continues to be one of Norway’s most prominent musical exports and a key voice in contemporary indie music.
