Zara Larsson is a multi-platinum Swedish pop singer and songwriter whose soaring vocals and dance-forward hits have made her one of the most recognizable pop stars to emerge from Sweden in the past decade. Born in Stockholm in 1997, Larsson first captured the public eye at age 10 when she won the second season of Sweden’s Talang (the Swedish version of Got Talent) in 2008, launching one of the most promising young careers in Scandinavian pop before she was even a teenager.

Her breakthrough came with the 2013 Swedish release of her EP Introducing, anchored by the hit single “Uncover,” which went to No. 1 in Sweden and quickly spread across Scandinavia. She hit international stardom shortly after with the global smashes “Lush Life” (2015) and “Never Forget You” with MNEK (2015), both of which charted inside the top 10 across Europe and the US and racked up more than a billion streams combined — officially establishing Larsson as one of the defining pop voices of her generation.
