Robin Miriam Carlsson, or Robyn as she is better known, is one of Sweden´s most famous singers. She shot to star status with smash hits such as “Show Me Love” and “Do You Know (What It Takes),” along with her debut release “Robyn Is Here.” And after more than a decade of making music, she released trilogy, “Body Talk” in 2010.
Much of Robyn´s success is down to her unique sound – a vibrant combination of pop music and quality dance-electro, peppered with echoes of the 80s, and hip hop beats. It´s music that doesn´t take itself too seriously, and avoids all the tired old cliches of mainstream pop.
Robyn´s music career came up against some obstacles, and after considering quitting the industry for good, she parted ways with her label. It would turn out to be one of the best decisions of her life, after “Robyn” which she produced under her own label, Konichiwa Records, taking a riskier, less-commercial route, not only reached number one in Sweden, but saw her catapulted to the world stage of pop.
In triology “Body Talk,” Robyn recreates that amazing musical energy that makes her the queen of intelligent pop. With collaborations with Snoop Dogg, the brilliant Royksopp, she strikes the perfect balance between the best of American hip hop, and Swedish dance music.
On the 12th March, she´s playing a concert at Berlin´s Astra Kulturhaus – which means a guaranteed party. For more information about the concert: http://www.songkick.com/concerts/7215001-robyn-at-astra-kulturhaus

Don´t miss out on the party of the year – rent apartments in Berlin and enjoy Robyn´s hits.
