Annisette's recording debut as a singer began in the late 1950s when she and her sister Rudi Hansen recorded some children's songs for the Swedish record label Sonet. By the age of 16, Annisette was performing live on stage with the pop group Dandy Swingers and released a solo-single "Livet Er Nu" (Life Is Now).

In 1967 Annisette formed the band The Savage Rose together with brothers Thomas and Anders Koppel.[4][5][6] She has two daughters Billie Koppel and Naja Rosa Koppel from her marriages to Thomas Koppel.[7]
