Sharin Foo (born 22 November 1973) is a Danish musician and singer in the rock group The Raveonettes.
Foo was born in Emmelev, Djursland, Denmark, on 11 November 1973. She was raised in a hippy commune.[1]
Foo's father is musician Kim Tai Foo,[2] a second-generation Danish-Chinese[2] who played in the Danish folk-rock band Djursland Spillemænd.[3]
At an early age, Foo spent time in India studying the musical traditions of dhrupad and qawwali.[2]
Career
When Foo returned to Denmark, she got involved in the local punk scene and met Sune Rose Wagner in Copenhagen in 2001.[2] They formed The Raveonettes and recorded their debut album, the EP Whip It On, in 2002 for the Crunchy Frog label, of Denmark.
Rolling Stone editor David Fricke's positive review of their performance at the 2002 Spot music festival held in Denmark resulted in a number of offers from major recording labels.[4] They signed with Sony Records and released their first full-length album, Chain Gang of Love, on the Columbia label, in 2003. The group, since its inception, has been touring constantly, in various line-ups around Wagner & Foo.
