Robyn

Robyn, born Robin Miriam Carlsson on June 12, 1979, is a celebrated Swedish singer, songwriter, record producer, and DJ. Known for her unique blend of upbeat dance music infused with melancholic lyrics, she has earned the title of the 'stateswoman of alt-pop' from The Guardian. Her career began with the release of her debut album, Robyn Is Here, in 1995, which featured two top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100: 'Do You Know (What It Takes)' and 'Show Me Love'.

After her initial success, Robyn continued to evolve as an artist with her subsequent albums, My Truth in 1999 and Don't Stop the Music in 2002, both released in Sweden. The turning point in her career came when she established her own label, Konichiwa Records, allowing her to embrace independence. This led to her fourth album, simply titled Robyn, in 2005, which garnered a Grammy Award nomination and included the chart-topping singles 'Be Mine!' and 'With Every Heartbeat'.

In 2010, Robyn released a trilogy of mini-albums that culminated in her critically acclaimed seventh studio album, Body Talk. This project produced three top-ten singles, including the iconic 'Dancing On My Own', which is often regarded as her signature song and played a significant role in revitalizing her career. Following this success, she collaborated on two EPs: Do It Again with Röyksopp in 2014 and Love Is Free with La Bagatelle Magique in 2015.

Robyn's eighth solo album, Honey, released in 2018, received widespread acclaim, further solidifying her status in the music industry. After an eight-year hiatus, she made a triumphant return with her ninth studio album, Sexistential, in 2026, which was met with critical praise and featured the top-ten single 'Dopamine'.
