Lina Nyberg (born February 27, 1970 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish jazz singer and composer, married to the Swedish jazz clarinettist and saxophonist Fredrik Ljungkvist.[1][2]
Career
In 1990 Nyberg put together her own band Lina Nyberg Quintet comprising Per "Texas" Johansson, Esbjörn Svensson, Dan Berglund, and Mikel Ulfberg. After her graduation at the Stockholm Royal College of Music as a Master of Fine Arts in 1993, Nyberg released her debut solo album Close (1993), a duo recording with late pianist Esbjörn Svensson from the well known Swedish trio EST, and it became an instant success and Swedish jazz classic. This was also the beginning of a very fruitful cooperation with the producer and owner of Prophone records, late Erland Boëthius.[1]
In 1995 Lina Nyberg Quintet was rewarded a Swedish Grammy for the CD "When the smile shines through". Lina has released 15 CDs as a solo artist being a composer, producer and singer. In September 2011 she released her latest CD ‐ PALAVER (Moserobie Records). Her music is a mixture of influences from Brazilian Tropicalia, European Free form, modern classical composers, the American songbook and old school jazz.[1]
In 2013 Lina Nyberg Band made their first tour in USA and Canada. During her career, she has collaborated with Bernt Rosengren, Nisse Sandström, Fredrik Norén Band among others.[3]
