By the time she was twelve, she was already in studios recording. At seventeen, she was singing in a rock band and when she graduated from Swedish high school, at a time when most teenagers worry about what to wear to their interviews for a job at McDonalds, Petra had already nailed a record deal. A big one. Calling herself September, the then 18-year old had hits like &quot;La la la (Never give it up)&quot;, &quot;We can do it&quot; and &quot;September all over&quot;. The songs were written and produced by dynamic hit making trio Jonas von der Burg, Niclas von der Burg and Anoo Bhagavan, and with Petra, they made a great team where Petra found exactly the kind of high-quality dance music she was looking for to make. While danceable and catchy, the songs always have its base in Petra&apos;s dark, surprisingly sad voice that lingers in your ears, making them stick out from the hit parades on the radio.&quot;</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
