Zara Larsson

Zara Larsson first gained recognition in 2008 when she won "Talang," the Swedish version of "Got Talent". This achievement led to a contract with TEN Music Group in 2012 and the release of her debut EP, "Introducing," in 2013. Larsson's career took off quickly, with her debut studio album, "1," going platinum in Scandinavia in 2014. Her international debut, "So Good," released in 2017, reached the top ten in several countries. Larsson continued to produce successful albums, including "Poster Girl" in 2021, "Venus" in 2024, and "Midnight Sun" in 2025. The title track from "Midnight Sun" earned Larsson her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording.

Alongside her recording successes, Larsson has also been recognized as a talented live performer, performing at acclaimed events such as the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo in 2013 and 2017. She has also headlined several tours, including the So Good World Tour (2017–2018), Venus Tour (2024), and Midnight Sun Tour (2025–2026). In addition, Larsson has supported acts such as Cher Lloyd, Beyoncé, Clean Bandit, and Ed Sheeran on their tours. In June 2022, she founded her own record label, Sommer House, and acquired ownership over her musical catalog, further cementing her place in the music industry.

Larsson's music, which primarily falls under pop, electropop, house, and dance genres, has earned her numerous awards, including one Bambi Award, four Grammis, four MTV European Music Awards, and eight Rockbjörnen. She has also been nominated for four Brit Awards and one Grammy Award. Notably, she was named one of Time's "30 Most Influential Teens of 2016" and was included in Forbes' "30 Under 30 Europe" list in 2018. Off stage, Larsson has used her platform to voice her stance on various social issues, demonstrating her commitment to sexual health, gender equality in music festivals, and international political conflicts.
