A Take On The Female Swedish Singer

By Irma Farrell


Sweden is just like most countries wherein they have been known to produce many artists and musicians. A considerable number of these people have become famous not only in their native land, but also throughout the world. The female Swedish female singer is someone who is talented and can bring that talent across national boundaries unlike any other. The examples can be quite convincing.

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.

Then there is Miss Li, real name being Linda Carlsson. Carlsson is another famous musician with certain achievements to her name. One is a song written by her that was utilized on Weeds, an original series from Showtime. Another Carlsson creation was utilized for an Apple commercial. It was for their iPod Nano.

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.

She was eventually invited to be a prima donna at a summer revue by Sigge Holmberg, who was a director. The next year, she made a successful run at Klart Gronan, a revue in Grona Lund. Eventually her career path led to her becoming a senior TV presenter during the early nineties. This successful woman died in 2007, just eleven days shy of turning eighty six.

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.

Among the most famous and successful singers during the nineteenth century went by the name of Jenny Lind. Lind, or Johanna Maria Lind, was renowned as the Swedish Nightingale. Her considerable prowess in opera singing made her famous during her performance of Der Freischutz. It all almost came to a screeching halt though when she was plagued by vocal damage.

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.

A few out of hundreds or thousands is enough for now to drive the point home. A talented Swedish female singer is a boon to her country, serving well with great skill and talent. There is little doubt that the nation swells with pride when it comes to the talent of both the past and the present. It is proven that they can rival any other foreign counterpart in the world today.
