The Famous Female Swedish Singer

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.

One of these women is Theresa Andersson. Andersson was born in the year 1972 in Gotland, Sweden and is a singer, a songwriter as well as a multi instrumentalist. She once posted a do it yourself video for Na Na Na, which is one of her songs, and it has since become quite popular on YouTube with more than a million views.

Another example is Miss Li. Li, whose real name is Linda Carlsson, is a famous musician whose single was featured on a series on Showtime called Weeds. Other than that, there was the utilization of Bourgeois Shangri La, another one her of songs, in a commercial for the iPod Nano commercial.

A very old school name is Git Gay, who was among the most popular in her hay day. Her real name was Birgit Carp and history will remember her as a successful actress, director and vocalist. It all started when she was sent to the Music Conservatory. This was in Malmo and the reason for her being there was due to the ambition of her parents to develop her into a concerto pianist.

By the forties, she was invited to act in a summer revue as a prima donna by a director named Sigge Holmberg. By the following year, she was performing at the Grona Lund in Stockholm in Klart Gronan, another revue. The rest, as they say, is history. Her career continued well into the nineties where she transitioned towards senior TV presenting. Git Gay passed away a mere eleven days before she would have turned eighty six in the year 2007.

Other examples include one of the members of Ace of Base. Her name is Clara Hagman, and was recruited for the purpose of replacing a recently departed band member. Not long after the new lineup was finalized, the group released a new album in September.

Then there was the famous Johanna Maria Lind, otherwise known as Jenny Lind. In her prime she was known as the Swedish Nightingale for her celebrated prowess when it comes to opera singing. One notable instance of her greatness was Der Freischutz, which made near achieve near legendary status. As good as she was, she was almost taken out of the game when vocal damage struck not long after her performance.

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.

There are many more examples to cite from a very diverse pool of talent. The definition of a Swedish female singer is one that is changing with the times. With each new innovation and achievement, they, as a whole, elevate themselves just a little bit higher than they were before.
