Through her interpretations of Bodil Malmsten, Kjell Höglund and Dan Andersson, Ellen Sundberg has shown an extraordinary feel for the Swedish language. In 2027, she releases a new album of original material.

Ellen Sundberg was born in the small Jämtland village of Bjärme in 1992. Since her debut in 2013, she has released four English-language albums, two recorded in the USA.

Her wider breakthrough came with her interpretations of Kjell Höglund on the critically acclaimed Du sålde min biljett, showcasing her rare ability to bring lyrics to life. She developed that talent further on Ett Bloss För Bodil Malmsten, setting the beloved poet’s work to music. The album received a Swedish Grammis nomination and became a highly successful touring show of the same name.

Sundberg also appeared in the Dan Andersson production Hon vars hjärta var som mitt, based on Göran Greider’s book, which played to sold-out houses in 2022, and in the Kjell Höglund tour När tåget lämnar perrongen in 2025.

Her seventh album, Vita gäss, arrived in autumn 2023, her first collection of original material in Swedish. Its follow-up is released on 29 January 2027 by Ella Ruth Institutet, home to H Self, Toni Holgerson and others.

Her spring tour brings her to Nefertiti. Book your ticket today!
