Malin 'Linn' Berggren
Years Active: 1987-2007
Vocal Range: D3-E♭5
Linn found fame in the early 90's with Ace of Base (a band consisting of Linn, her siblings Jonas and Jenny Berggren and their friend Ulf). Charismatic and enigmatic Linn sang lead on the majority of the hits before realising life as a recording artist wasn't for her and took a step back towards the late 90's to allow sister Jenny to step to the front, whilst still remaining a member of the band and providing vocals. To quote the woman herself "I wanted to sing, I didn't want to be a singer". After four albums, Linn disappeared into obscurity and the band confirmed she wouldn't be returning in 2007, and has now retired from music. Whilst Linn enjoys her quiet life away from view, her pure Scandinavian voice remains as charming as ever, with the bands biggest hits still remaining popular and relevant being heard on movie soundtracks and still commanding hefty numbers on streaming services such as Spotify.
