ABOUT
Linnea started the group in 2010 and was born on March 23rd 2001 in Åmotfors, Värmland. In the band she plays drums and sings but she also plays the piano in her free time.
Linnea has always had music close to her and began to play drums and sing already when she was 3 years old, but back then it was more like "twinkle, twinkle, little star".
She wanted to start a band when her cousin got to be in a band that the music school in Arvika had arranged. She decided to get a band of her own, so she began to ask her best friend Ida Bergkvist if she wanted to play the piano/synth.
After she had spoken to Ida, she asked Linn Persson if she wanted to play the guitar.
Then she went to Lovisa Dahlman to ask if she wanted to play bass, and everyone wanted to join. When Lovisa, back in 2015, wanted to quit the band, Linnea asked Liv if there was an interest.
When Linn in 2017 wanted to quit she then asked Nathapat and Oliver if they were interested and they both were. The idea at the beginning was not for both of them to play guitar. Although they had an audition which made the band members talk about maybe recruiting both of them. They decided to try with both at the same time and it turned out great.
Linnea studied at Estetiska Skolan, Stage N' Perform, in Arvika, Sweden together with the rest of the band. She then studied music production at Musikhögskolan Ingesund, in Arvika. And now she builds her own studio, works as a music producer, songwriter, artist, etc, and she is also a drum teacher at "Årjängs kommunala musikskola"
