Lykke Li's parents were both in bands (her mother Karsti Stiege was a member of
all-girl group Tant Strul and her father Johan played guitar with punk-reggae
outfit Dag Vag) and she was brought up in Portugal, Morocco, Nepal, India and
New York, as well as Sweden where she was born.
She was 21 when she recorded her first album 'Youth Novels' in 2008, produced by
Bjorn Yttling of the band Peter, Bjorn and John. It won great acclaim, her
passionate and idiosyncratic style earning Li comparisons with Bjork and
becoming a major hit in Sweden, spending 20 weeks in the album charts....
