[edit] Biography

Therese Grankvist grew up Nässjö but moved to Tullinge near Stockholm at the age of 13. Her career started when she called a record company and recorded her singing on their answering machine. She later met Dr. Alban, he convinced her to join the dance music project Drömhus. At first Drömhus was meant to consist of two men and Therese, but eventually it came to be just Therese and the producers.

[edit] Music

In 1997, the first single "Du och jag" ("You and me") was released, it can be described as a dream house song. The big breakthrough came in 1998 with the song "Vill ha dig" ("I want you"), a cover of a hit by the band Freestyle in the 1980s.

[edit] Music career

In the Swedish qualification for Eurovision Song Contest 1999 Drömhus competed with the song "Stjärna på himmelen" ("Star in the sky"). It finished second, thus not qualifying for the European finals.

In 2000, Therese announced that she will leave Drömhus to perform under her own name Therese instead.

The year 2004 launched Therese overseas, with her remarkable success with Swedish DJ Stonebridge. They teamed up to release the worldwide dance hit ("Put 'Em High"). In late 2004 she produced her club hit Time.
