Early Life & Education

Marie Ulven Ringheim, born on February 16, 1999, in Horten, Norway, hails from a family that includes her sisters and divorced parents. Reflecting on her upbringing, Marie described Horten as a place that was “quiet and kinda boring” during an interview with Triple J in October 2019.
