August 17, 1980 was a very special
day in the Pedersen household as Lene was born. Her
parents gave her the name Lene Marlin Pedersen,
today the world knows her better as Lene Marlin. Her
parents must have sensed something special about
Lene as she grew, in fact Lene tells the story of
being two years old and crying because she had to
leave a guitar behind at the music store. She
attributes some of her love for music and playing
the guitar to that day as she found a deep interest
in music, both in writing songs and singing.
