When Katy Perry’s “Never Really Over” hit the charts in 2019, a songwriter from Tromsø, in Norway’s far north, had a credit on it. Perry said the song was inspired by Dagny’s “Love You Like That,” and Dagny received a songwriting credit. It remains one of the most visible moments in a career that has been built less on one big hit than on steady touring.
That model shows up in her finances. This guide separates what is documented from what is guesswork, because a single “net worth” figure for Dagny would be misleading.

Dagny Net Worth 2026: Is There a Verified Figure?
No. I found no sourced, dated estimate of Dagny’s net worth from a credible financial outlet. What exists instead is better in some ways: Norwegian companies and taxpayers must publish their numbers. All figures below are in Norwegian kroner (NOK).
What her touring company reports
Dagny owns Little Daggers Touring AS outright, and she has said only concert income is routed through it, according to iTromsø. Her earlier business was a sole proprietorship. That mattered in 2020, when VG reported she could claim no more than NOK 427,000 in compensation for cancelled concerts, far less than some peers received.
The company’s reported results:
- 2021 (first year): revenue above NOK 11.5 million, pre-tax profit of NOK 5.25 million, and an extraordinary dividend of NOK 2.9 million, per VG.
- 2022: revenue of NOK 19 million, costs of NOK 12.2 million, pre-tax profit of NOK 6.8 million, and equity of NOK 6.6 million, per iTromsø.
- 2024: revenue of NOK 19.7 million, operating result of NOK 6.8 million, net result of NOK 7.1 million, and equity of NOK 18.2 million, according to Brønnøysund Register Centre data shown by Webagent.
I could not find 2023 results, and I found no reliable 2025 accounts. A registry aggregator lists a nominal 2025 figure that I couldn’t reconcile with earlier years, so I haven’t used it.
Personal tax-list figures
Norway publishes taxable income and wealth. In 2019, VG reported (citing iTromsø), Dagny had over NOK 3.3 million in income, followed by NOK 2.1 million in 2020. Nordnorsk Rapport put her 2019 personal wealth at NOK 2.7 million.
By 2023 the picture had shifted. Nordlys reported taxable income of NOK 343,397, more than a million below the year before, and personal wealth of NOK 3,709,487, up from zero. A December 2024 iTromsø headline described the same pattern: lower personal income while her company invests in equity funds. The article itself is paywalled, so I can’t give more detail.
Why these figures can’t be added up
Company equity is an accounting number inside a business she owns. Tax-list wealth uses tax valuations, not market values, and is net of debt. Revenue is not profit, and profit is not take-home pay. The largest documented figure, company equity of NOK 18.2 million at the end of 2024, is the best single clue to her financial position. It is not a net worth.
Who Is Dagny? Early Life and Background
Dagny grew up in Tromsø as the youngest daughter of two musicians. She has described her childhood as very musical, and she made her first stage appearance at one of her parents’ shows at age six, according to Wikipedia.
She began performing locally, then moved to the UK in 2010. She studied at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts before settling in London. For years she played small shows and worked part-time jobs, including a clothes shop and a wine bar. In 2015 she felt her career had stalled and briefly enrolled in a digital media design degree, returning to music after about six months.
Career: From Part-Time Jobs to Headline Festivals
Breakthrough (2015–2017). “Backbeat,” recorded in autumn 2015, reached more than 20 million Spotify plays by mid-2016 and led to deals with Propeller Recordings for Scandinavia and Republic Records for the rest of the world. She was nominated for Spellemannprisen’s Newcomer of the Year. In 2017 she was named a “One to Watch” by Billboard and Vevo, and her cover of “More, More, More” appeared in a Target campaign.
Collaborations (2017–2019). She featured with The Wombats, Steve Aoki and NOTD, and topped the Norwegian singles chart with Seeb on “Drink About.”
Label change and debut album (2019–2020). After disagreements over album content, she and Republic parted ways. She built her own Little Daggers label. Strangers / Lovers peaked at No. 2 in Norway, and “Somebody” won Song of the Year at the 2020 P3 Gull awards. Qobuz notes the album went double platinum in Norway.
Screen and stage (2020–2023). She appeared in Netflix’s Home for Christmas in 2020 and co-wrote and performed “Pretty” with Astrid S in 2021. She signed a publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Scandinavia in February 2022 and worked with Kygo on “Lonely Together.” In December 2023 she headlined Oslo Spektrum, her largest solo show to date, and it sold out.
Recent releases. ELLE arrived in June 2024. She supported Justin Timberlake on his 2025 European dates, per Wikipedia. Her third album, Dancefloor Erotica, was released on 12 June 2026, according to The Line of Best Fit. She headlined Bergenfest on release day and Øya Festival on 15 August. A UK and European tour is planned for early 2027, per Clash.
How Dagny Makes Her Money
Her accounts point to live work as the main engine, since concert income is what flows through her touring company. The company’s stated purpose also covers merchandise sales and sponsorship income.
The rest of the picture is partly documented and partly unknown:
- Songwriting and publishing. The Perry credit and her Sony publishing deal are confirmed. The amounts are not public.
- Streaming. A label press release for her new album calls her “one billion streamed”. That is a promotional claim, and streaming income is not itemized anywhere I could verify.
- Sync licensing. Her songs have appeared in TV and film, but no fees are public.
Her record-label arrangement has also changed over time. She released her debut on her own Little Daggers imprint through Universal. The 2026 album came out through Universal Music Norway and Polydor Germany alongside Little Daggers Records, so the terms of that partnership are an open question for anyone estimating her finances.
Endorsements and Brand Work
The best-documented brand deal is the Target campaign. Wikipedia also lists her as a Clarins brand ambassador, citing a 2020 online Q&A. I couldn’t confirm whether that arrangement is current, and no fees are public for either deal.
Investments and Property
Her business structure is the main investment fact on record. iTromsø’s headline says her company invests in equity funds, and the registry data shows NOK 18.6 million in fixed assets for 2024. The breakdown isn’t itemized in the sources I could access.
On property, Nordlys reported she bought an Oslo apartment in early 2023 for NOK 10.28 million. That helps explain why her tax-list wealth jumped from zero to NOK 3.7 million that year. How much of it was financed is not public. I found no other verified details about her lifestyle, so I haven’t described any.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dagny’s net worth in 2026?
It is not publicly confirmed. The strongest documented figure is the NOK 18.2 million in equity held by her touring company at the end of 2024, but that is a company balance-sheet number, not a net worth.
How old is Dagny, and where is she from?
She was born on 23 July 1990 in Tromsø, Norway, and is 36. She is Norwegian and lives in Oslo.
How does Dagny make money?
Her accounts show concert income flowing through Little Daggers Touring AS. She also earns from songwriting, publishing and brand work, though amounts for those aren’t public.
Is Dagny’s company revenue the same as her income?
No. In 2024 the company reported revenue of about NOK 19.7 million, but its net result was NOK 7.1 million after costs. Her personal taxable income in 2023 was NOK 343,397.
Did Dagny write a song for Katy Perry?
Not exactly. Perry’s “Never Really Over” was inspired by Dagny’s “Love You Like That,” and Dagny received a songwriting credit.
Conclusion
Dagny’s finances show a touring artist who built a profitable company out of live work. The company’s results are solid and rising. Her personal income has been much more modest in recent years, with the money largely staying inside the business. With a new album out and a European tour planned for early 2027, the next set of accounts will show whether her 2026 release cycle moves the numbers. Until a credible outlet publishes a sourced estimate, the honest answer is that her net worth is not publicly confirmed. We’ll update this article as new filings appear.
