Therese Grankvist, also known as Drömhus, is a Swedish singer, songwriter, and record label owner, born on May 2nd, 1977, in Stockholm, Sweden. Therese's career started when she called a record company and recorded her singing on their answering machine. When she later met Dr. Alban, he convinced her to join the new eurodance project Drömhus, meaning "dream house" in Swedish. At first, Drömhus was meant to consist of two men and Therese, but eventually shrank to just Therese and the producers in 1997. The first single "Du och jag" ("You and I") was released the same year. The big breakthrough, however, came in 1998 with the single "Vill ha dig" ("Want You"), a cover of a hit by the band Freestyle in the 1980s. The first album "Drömmar" ("Dreams") was released some time after and sold gold in Sweden, as well as reach the top of the charts all over northern Europe.
At the Melodifestivalen, the Swedish national selection for Eurovision Song Contest, in 1999, Drömhus competed with the song "Stjärna på himmelen" ("Star in the Sky"). It finished second, thus not qualifying for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2000, Therese announced that she would leave Drömhus to perform under the mononym Therese instead.
