Robyn

Robyn, born Robin Miriam Carlsson on June 12, 1979, in Stockholm, Sweden, is a globally recognized pop singer-songwriter celebrated for her influential electropop sound, dynamic live performances, and chart-topping hits. She is particularly known for the anthems "With Every Heartbeat" and "Dancing On My Own," the latter of which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2011. Robyn is also the founder and owner of Konichiwa Records, the independent label through which she releases her acclaimed music.

With parents who were actors, Robyn was exposed to the arts from a young age. Her own acting endeavors began at nine with a minor role in the Swedish theatre production Kronbruden. By age 12, she had recorded the theme song "Du kan alltid bli nummer ett" ("You can always be number one") for the Swedish television show Lilla Sportspegeln. Her early musical potential was recognized by Swedish pop singer Meja, who encountered Robyn during a school musical workshop in the early 1990s.
