As a nine-year-old, Linnea Henriksson, born Ellen Henriksson on November 9, 1986, sang on television, something that would provide her big break fifteen years later. She learned music as part of her formal education and made connections in the music scene throughout the first decade of the new century. She became the lead singer of the short-lived band Prylf. She finally made a name for herself competing on the reality series Idol 2010. Her debut single, "Väldigt kär/Obegripligt ensam", co-written by the Swedish singing star Orup, came out in 2011, but her 2012 single “Lyckligare nu” was her first huge success, climbing to number 3. That same year she toured her home country, and released her first album, Till mina älskade och älskare, which hit number 21. 2014’s Du söker bråk, jag kräver dans charted seven places higher. Two years later she was the featured performer on Petter’s top 5 hit “Se på mig nu”. Top 40 hits “Småtjejer” and “Fira jul med mig” followed in 2018 and 2019, respectively. In 2020 she released “Det kommer en tid”.
