Marit Bergman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liv-Marit Bergman (born May 21, 1975) is a Swedish pop musician. She grew up in Rättvik but now lives in the Stockholm suburb Bredäng. She was a member of the 1990s Swedish punk band Candysuck. She has also been playing and recording with other musical constellations. However, it is as a solo artist, as Marit Bergman, that she has risen to national fame, debuting in 2002 with the album 3.00 A.M. Serenades on her own record company Sugartoy Recordings. The record was a success with the critics and was rereleased by RCA/BMG in 2003.
Following the major label release Marit Bergman embarked on a showcase tour in the United States. Her second album, Baby Dry Your Eye, was released in March 2004 to further critical acclaim. The grand arrangements of its pop songs, in a style sometimes compared to Phil Spector, earned Bergman five Swedish Grammis nominations and two awards - Composer of the Year and Female Artist of the Year. In 2005, a live-DVD, "Live at Rival" was released.
In 2006, Bergman released her third solo album, I Think It's a Rainbow.
