Biography
Laleh Pourkarim was born in Iran on 10 June 1982 and immigrated to Sweden, where she became a singer-songwriter, record producer, guitarist, pianist, and record company manager. After a brief acting career, she entered the music industry in 2005 with her eponymous debut album, which peaked at number one in Sweden and became that country's highest-selling album of the year.
She has released nine studio albums across English, Swedish, and Persian. In 2011, she appeared on the Swedish television show Så mycket bättre, where artists reinterpret each other's songs; her performances earned critical and public acclaim, marking what media outlets called a "second breakthrough". Her 2012 album Sjung produced the international hit "Some Die Young," which became closely associated with remembrance after the 2011 Norwegian attacks and achieved 14× platinum certification in Norway, double platinum in Sweden, and chart entries in Denmark, Austria, Finland, and Germany.
In January 2014, she signed an international deal with Island Records, leading to the Boom EP and songwriting and production work for Shawn Mendes, Adam Lambert, Demi Lovato, and Ellie Goulding. She released Kristaller in 2016, Vänta! in 2019, and Vatten in 2022 with Universal Music Sweden. As a Gemini born in June, Laleh embodies the sign's gift for versatility across languages and genres. Singers perform live, record albums, collaborate with other artists, and manage their own creative output.
