Mia Karlsson

Once fronting the hard-hitting Crucified Barbara from 2001 to 2016, the lead singer and guitarist earned the title "Sweden's best rock voice" from a major newspaper. With four albums, global tours, and a Melodifestivalen appearance in 2010, the band left its mark. Fast forward to now—the comeback. Partnering with Ninetone, the focus is on acoustic tunes with a genre that's hard to pin down—some say Americana, folk, indie, pop, or singer/songwriter. Her visions as an artist include reaching out with her music, evolving as a songwriter and musician, building a name as an artist, and combining music with social work with young people. She aims to achieve these goals by writing and working based on a plan, with the goal of releasing an album as soon as possible to book tours and festival performances. As an artist, she wants to be perceived as authentic and true to her own style. She believes she can shape the desired image by being herself and having people around her who understand and trust her creativity. She defines herself as an artist through her voice and experiences, which she considers her greatest strengths.
