FANTASY POP FROM SWEDEN
I’m an independent Swedish singer, songwriter, and producer blending electropop, piano-driven singer-songwriter ballads, and ambient music into a sound I call “fantasy pop”. Inspired by fairy tales, mythology, and science fiction, my lyrics explore universal human themes infused with magic, futuristic worlds and the beauty of nature. The stories intertwine with vocals, piano, cinematic atmospheres, 80s-inspired synths, electronic soundscapes, and choral harmonies.
My creative process starts with a lyrical idea, then I improvise chords and melodies while singing at the piano. The song’s structure organically takes shape, blending lyrics and music.
I record and arrange in Logic Pro and Ableton Live, shaping the soundscape with my soprano voice, piano, software synthesizers, virtual instruments, effects, and MIDI tools. In my own productions, I write, produce, arrange, mix and master the music myself, playing or programming all instruments (with drums sometimes created using loops). I also create my own visuals and artwork.

SONGS FROM OTHER WORLDS & MUSIC AS MEDICINE
I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember – sometimes it felt easier to sing than to speak. Growing up, I would take long walks and sing for the trees and the birds, or sit by the piano and play and sing my heart out.
Music has always been a place of comfort, imagination, and healing for me. It has carried me through both quiet and difficult moments, and remains one of the most important parts of my life.
I’ve always been drawn to fairy tales, magic, and the mysteries of life beyond what we can see. That world has shaped both who I am and the music I create today – often inspired by fantasy, nature, imagined futures, and other unseen realms.
Creating my own songs is, for me, an act of self-love. And nothing makes me happier than when my music can touch someone else in the same way that music has touched me.
Thank you for listening – it means the world to me! 🌸🎼🐉
Love, Josefin
