Stockholm, Sweden (1995 – present)
Robin Miriam Carlsson aka Robyn (born June 12, 1979) is a Swedish singer and songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
She scored massive successes in the summer of 2007 with her hit single “With Every Heartbeat” which was most notably #1 in the UK, but also had chart success in her native Sweden, the Netherlands, Ireland and Germany.
She is best known in the USA for her 1997 song “Do You Know (What It Takes)”. Her debut single “You’ve Got That Something” was released in Sweden in 1995. Later the same year, her Swedish breakthrough came with the single “Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)”. It was slightly less successful in the USA in its 1997 release. These singles became part of the album Robyn Is Here.
Robyn had her North American breakthrough in 1997 when the singles “Show Me Love” and “Do You Know (What It Takes)” were released. These singles ended up on the Billboard top 10, and both made #2 in Canada. She followed those two singles with the slightly less successful “Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)”, which was the lead-off single for the 1995 Swedish release. It was ineligible for the Billboard Hot 100 at the time since it was not released as a retail single in the U.S., but did reach #32 on the Hot 100’s Airplay chart, and #6 in Canada. The album offered the standard version and a remix causing the album to be re-released with this remix on it.
Her following album My Truth was released in May 17, 1999, but not in the US (though it was promised to be) because her American record company RCA didn’t think the album contained any potential hits. The album won rave reviews and is referred to by fans as her best album to date, even garnering her a Grammy (as did Robyn is Here both in the US and Sweden).

Doesn't matter how many pictures of Robyn we upload, it will never get to be the main picture unless her stupid label decides to remove the official picture they added.
