Seinabo Sey

In an interview Sey noted that "I was really academically tracked... I loved to sing but I could never fathom singing by myself. I tried to push away the whole music dream and thought I had to do something more in line with that, like becoming a lawyer or something, until I was around sixteen. But then I realised I couldn't really live in that small town so I moved to Stockholm and started music school". Career: 2013-present: After Sey started working with producer Magnus Lidehäll she released her debut single "Younger" , followed by " Hard Time" and "Pistols at Dawn". The singles, which were described as soul pop, received much attention and accolades in Sweden and abroad. Kygo, a Norwegian musician, remixed "Younger", releasing it in Norway and the United States, this version known as "Younger (Kygo Remix)" peaked on the Norwegian VG-lista charts (for seven consecutive weeks) and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. She performed at the 2014 Swedish Grammy Awards and Allsång på Skansen in Stockholm. In October 2014, Seinabo Sey released the EP "for Madeleine", dedicated to and named after her mother. The EP was produced by Magnus Lidehäll and written by among others, Salem Al Fakir, Oscar Linnros and Vincent Pontare along with Seinabo Sey herself. That same month, she performed at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. She also performed at the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize concert.
