Swedish Singer/Songwriters

Lina from the Beyond Blond Team says;

I'm on my way to a meeting with a young Swedish songwriter who recently relocated to Los Angeles. Did you know that Sweden used to be the third largest music exporter in the world after the US and the UK? ...but since 2004 many other countries have had similar successes in terms of music export. Sweden is still very strong in the field of songwriting, though, and many of the most popular songs that you hear on the radio and in TV-shows have been written by Swedes.

Two weeks ago, we hosted a joint music event with the Swedish pop artist/songwriter Meja. She is in LA to record her new album Urban Gypsy and during the evening we tried to match the Americans and the Swedes that work in the music industry with the aim of giving birth to new collaborations. One of the guests, Swedish rock artist Jamie Meyer, got hired by another guest to perform at an upcoming event and other musicians/producers also made connections that will lead to joint projects. It reminded us of the importance to network in order to make sure that Swedish music remains on the turntables.

In that perspective, the music brunch that is being organized in cooperation with Export Music Sweden on April 27th (when MusExpo starts) couldn't come more timely. We will tell you more about it as we get closer to the event...
