Who? Robin Miriam Carlsson

Style: Pop, Electro
Essential album: “Robyn” (Konichiwa, 2007)
Label: Konichiwa Records
Facts: Robyn spent the first seven years of her life touring with her director father and actress mother in their Constructivist-inspired theatre company. At the age of 13 she was discovered by Swedish pop singer Meja when singing a sad, self-written song about her parents’ divorce in a school workshop and was immediately signed to BMG. A debut album of R&B-influenced Pop in 1995 saw her paired with future Britney-hit wrangler Max Martin, and the global success of the sweet, soulful single “Show Me Love” in 1997 cemented Robyn as an international pop star. With her new melancholic and melody-laden hit-singles “Konichiwa Bitches” and “With Every Heartbeat” she has hit Pop-stardom for the second time in her life.
