Robyn: Swede in the world

This time the Swedish singer-song writer is praised by the prestigious Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer 

• 

  Robyn – Swede of the Year 2012, as chosen by Veckans Affärer.

• Robyn – Swede in the world
  Again the popular artist Robyn is being praised to the skies. This time by the prestigious Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer, which chose Robyn as this year’s “Svenska i världen”. The artist picked up the award at a gala at Cirkus in Stockholm, at which she said: “I think it’s difficult to view my self from outside.”

• Robyn has been dominating hit lists and she has been seen all over the world (including on several American TV-shows). At the gala, she called the record business “one of the most conservative, backward businesses in the world”. Robyn has her own record company, Konichiwa, and says she is looking for a mentor to help her understand how to run a business: “I have no insight in how to be a boss and how to delegate and let go. I don’t see myself as a leader.” This summer, Robyn will open for the popular British band Coldplay during their tour. (Coming to Texas and Fla. in late June and Georgia, Pennsylvania and D.C. in early July)
