Prominent Examples Of Female Swedish Singers

By Irma Farrell


Like any other country, Sweden has produced a multitude of artists that are famous throughout their country and even throughout the entire world. What the female Swedish female singer brings to the table is a certain skill set that has the capability to transcend local boundaries and reach out to anyone that is willing to listen. To prove this point, a few examples may be needed.

A prominent example can be made out of Theresa Andersson. She was born in 1972 somewhere within Gotland, Sweden. As a singer songwriter, the video for Na Na Na, one of her singles, was recorded in a do it yourself style and proved so popular that it attracted more than one million views on YouTube.

Another one is Linda Carlsson, better known as Miss Li. A very famous musician in her own right, one of her singles has been prominently featured on the Showtime original series known as Weeds. Another piece of her work called Bourgeois Shangri La was featured in an iPod Nano commercial.

A very prominent and extensive example can be pointed out in Birgit Carp, who was widely known by the name of Git Gay, her stage name. She eventually made her named as an actress, vocalist and as a director before all was said and done. Her journey to success started when her parents, aspiring for her to be a concerto pianist, leading to her enrollment in the Music Conservatory within Malmo.

Eventually, Sigge Holmberg, a director, was able to convince her to be a prima donna in his summer revue. This led to her performance at Stockholm the following year at the Grona Lund. It was yet another revue this time, it was Klart Gronan. Her successful ways continued towards the end of the century and was completed by a transition into senior TV presenting. She passed away in 2007, eleven days before her eighty sixth birthday.

Clara Hagman is a member of the pop band Ace of Base. She was recruited to replace departing band members at the age of just eighteen years old. After her inclusion into the band, the new line up released its new album sometime in September 2010.

One of the most highly thought of singers of the nineteenth century was Johanna Maria Lind, who better known by her alias Jenny Lind was a Swedish opera singer. Her talents earned her the nickname Swedish Nightingale. Her amazing performance in Der Freischutz made her famous, although vocal damage a few years later nearly ruined her career.

Lastly, for now, there is Annette Ingegerd Olsson, known better as Anette Olzon. She is a lead vocalist in the metal band Nightwish, which is actually Finnish in origin. Prior to that, she worked with Alyson Avenue, yet another band.

These are just a few examples of the hundreds, if not thousands that are known. The Swedish female singer is just as talented and just as respectful as their American, British or any other counterpart. Although they are not alone in this, but it can be said that they truly are the pride of their nation, revealing to the world their enormous talent and reaping tremendous success in the process.
