Zindy Laursen

Zindy Laursen is a Danish American singer, songwriter, performer, model and actress.

She is the daughter of a Danish mother (white) and an African-American father. Her father was an American mariner who met her mother while he was on an R&R in Australia during the Vietnam War.

After beginning her career with the Danish band Smallstars that performed Laursen's original tunes, Laursen made her television debut in 1992 on Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, the Danish preselection program for the Eurovision Song Contest, which earned her a second-place finish. This paved the way for Laursen's rise to a lead singer in the dance/pop group Cut 'N' Move. Already well known in Denmark, the group sold over one million copies of their single, "Give It Up" (a KC and the Sunshine Band cover), from their album Peace, Love & Harmony. Their next album, The Sound of Now, was also a hit, and propelled Laursen and the band on tours of Scandinavia, Germany, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Australia.

In 1995, Laursen performed in Hair in Danish and continued on with the show at the Mogador Theater in Paris. The cast played daily to full houses of 1,800 seats.
