Josefine Lindstrand

Josefine Lindstrand is a Swedish singer living in Stockholm, Sweden. She received the Jazz in Sweden award for 2009 from the government agency Rikskonserter,[1] and her debut record There Will Be Stars was released soon afterwards. The album received a favourable review in Svenska Dagbladet.[2] In 2012 her second album Clouds was released. Lindenstrand used her middle name Britah for this record, which a reviewer in Dagens Nyheter characterised as pop rather than jazz.[3]
