Tove Lo

Crafting an idiosyncratic mixture of pop affected as much by ’80s pop as by contemporary EDM and in conjunction with raw, brutally honest lyrics, Tove Lo produced a name for herself as an award-winning performer and Grammy-nominated songwriter. Given birth to Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson on Oct 29, 1987 inside a suburb of Stockholm, she started composing poetry and brief stories at a age. She continued to study in the popular Rytmus Musikergymnasiet — a music-oriented senior high school much like the U.K.’s BRIT College — where she befriended the near future users of Icona Pop. After performing in the music group Tremblebee, composed of college students from the institution, and a spell playing one-man-and-his-dog nightclub gigs as frontwoman of the math rock-band, she made a decision to concentrate on her personal tunes, spending half a year in her shed studio room focusing on a demonstration. At a celebration celebrating Icona Pop’s initial record offer, she used the chance to foist her demonstration on an employee member at their label, resulting in a publishing cope with Warner Chappell and a vacation to L.A. to utilize fellow Swede and pop songwriting/creation supremo Potential Martin. In 2012, Lo self-released her debut one, “Like Ballad,” a catchy, beat-driven pop monitor that showcased her effective voice. It had been implemented in 2013 by “Habits (Stay Great),” a dark break up anthem that generated such Internet hype that it resulted in a cope with General. “Habits” and its own follow-up, “Out of Brain,” that was very much in the same vein, made an appearance on her behalf debut EP for the label, Truth Serum, in 2014. Afterwards that season, her debut record, Queen from the Clouds, appeared, offering “Habits” — which reached number 3 in the Billboard Scorching 100 — and also other rawly confessional music about like and heartache. The record was a high Ten strike in Sweden and a high 20 strike in the U.S. and U.K., and the next single “Speaking Body” was an identical achievement. Her 2014 cooperation with Alesso, “Heroes (WE’RE ABLE TO End up being),” was another strike, reaching the the surface of the U.S. dance graph. Late that season, Lo joined Potential Martin’s Wolf Cousins songwriting collective and co-wrote music for Cher Lloyd, Lea Michele, as well as the Saturdays, aswell as Ellie Goulding’s “Appreciate Me AS IF YOU Perform,” which gained a nomination for Greatest Song Created for Visual Mass media on the 58th Grammy Honours. She also gained a set of her homeland’s Grammis in 2015, Musician of the entire year and Tune of the entire year for “Habits (Stay Great).” In the wake from the discovery achievement of Queen, Lo also lent her vocals to songs by Coldplay, Nick Jonas, Broods, and Flume. In 2016, she came back with her second recording, Lady Real wood, which delivered even more of her personal mix of awesome synth pop and frank lyrics.
