Swedish R&B star Robyn (born Robin Carlsson
in Stockholm in 1979) wrote her first song when she was just 11. She was
discovered when she was 16, and signed her first record contract shortly
after. Her first single, "Do You Really Want Me," made her a pop superstar
in Sweden, where she has legions of loyal teenage fans.
Her debut album, Robyn Is Here, was released
in the United States in 1997 and produced the international best-selling
single, "Do You Know (What It Takes)." The single earned her a Billboard
Video Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Clip in the Dance
category.
