History I was born into a family of musicians in 1982 in Sweden, and began studying cello and piano at the age of ten. My formal singing lessons began at the age of 16 and it soon became clear that making music, singing and performing were going to be my main goals in life. In 2002 I was awarded a place on the undergraduate course at the Royal College of Music in London, where I was taught by Margaret Cable, Marie McLaughlin and from 2004, Lillian Watson. Miss Watson in particular has been a huge influence upon my early career and I developed hugely under her support and guidance. I am now looking forward to continuing my studies having been offered a scholarship at the Benjamin Britten International Opera School. Over the last four years I have had the opportunity to sing in masterclasses for musicians including Malcolm Martineau, Michael Chance, Jane Manning, Roger Vignoles, Dame Malvina Major, Sarah Walker, David Owen Norris, Robin Bowman and Laura Sartri. Specifically over the last two years I have had some fantastic musical experiences including a performance of Bach’s B Minor Mass with Peter Schreier, concerts with the Swedish National Orchestra (Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra), and this summer had the opportunity to tour Asia (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan) with the Asian Youth Orchestra. My next challenges involve performances with Sir Charles Mackerras and also the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Okko Kamu. I believe that I am an enthusiastic and energetic musician, and enjoy all kinds of music whether it be classical, contemporary or traditional.
