Career

edit

Svea started by posting covers on YouTube that attracted the attention of producers in the industry. These introduced her to an A&R at Universal Music Sweden who chose to sign Svea on her 18th birthday. Svea has studied singing at Rytmus Musikgymnasium in Stockholm like alumni Robyn, Tove Lo and Icona Pop.

She released her first song "Don't Mind Me" the same day (8 June 2018) as she took the student from Rytmus Musikgymnasium. "Don't Mind Me" ended up on Spotify Viral in Sweden and made headlines because she sang about enjoying her own sexuality as a young woman. In 2019, she released a 7-track EP "This is" and gained the attention of international media. In January 2019, she released the song "Complicated" together with the Danish artist Alexander Oscar. "Complicated" ended up in 16th place on Spotify's most listened songs in Denmark and has sold platinum in Denmark and gold in Norway and performed on X Factor with the song. On 15 June, SVEA performed at Brilliant Minds 2019, an international conference hosted by Spotify founder Daniel Ek and manager Ash Pournouri.[2] That same year, Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg and Naomi Campbell stood on the same stage. In the fall of 2019, she was associated with Picture This at their concerts in the UK and Germany, resulting in 13 shows. In 2020, SVEA released its second EP entitled "Pity Party". Svea also wrote Rhys Spotify It Hits single "We Don't Talk Anyway".[3] On New Year's Eve 2020, SVEA performed together with Zikai on SVT's 'Tolvslaget på Skansen' with the song "Don't Stop The Music", a cover of Rihanna's song of the same name, which was made exclusively for the performance.[4][5]
