Agnes Obel was born in Gentofte, Copenhagen. She and her younger brother, Holger, grew up in an unconventional environment, with a father who had three children from another marriage. He loved to collect strange objects and instruments. Her mother, Katja Obel, was a jurist and musician and she used to play Bartók and Chopin on the piano at home. Agnes learned to play the piano at a very young age. About her learning, she says: “I had a classical piano teacher who told me that I shouldn’t play what I didn’t like. So I just played what I liked. I was never forced to play anything else.”
