Biography
Veronica Sandra Karin Maggio, born March 15, 1981 in Uppsala, Sweden, is a Swedish singer of Swedish and Italian origin.
Veronica Maggio is a Swedish soul-pop singer who made her critically acclaimed album debut in 2006 with Vatten & Br�d and scored her first international hit a couple years later in 2008 with "M�ndagsbarn." She made her commercial recording debut in 2006 with the Top 20 hit single "Dumpa Mig," followed by the Top Ten hit single "N�jd?" Released by Universal Music on the heels of these two hits, Maggio's full-length debut, Vatten & Br�d (2006), was a Top 20 hit on the Swedish albums chart. Notable for its thumping quasi-hip-hop beats and including the two aforementioned hit singles, Vatten & Br�d was almost entirely produced, written, and composed by Stefan Gr�slund. Critically hailed as a Swedish alternative to Amy Winehouse and other such female soul-pop singers suddenly in vogue throughout Western Europe and North America, Maggio won Newcomer of the Year at the 2007 Swedish Grammy Awards. For her second album, Och Vinnaren �r... (2008), Maggio co-wrote most of the songs in collaboration with producer Kihlen (born Oskar Linnros), a member of the Swedish rap group Snook, and further emphasized the 1960s soul throwback elements of her music. The album's lead single, "M�ndagsbarn," a Motown-esque floor-stomper, was an international hit, reaching the Top Ten in neighboring Norway and Denmark. Also including the follow-up hit singles "Stopp" and "17 �r," Och Vinnaren �r... reached the Top Ten of the albums chart and was well received from a critical standpoint.
