Veronica Maggio biography

Veronica Sandra Karin Maggio is a Swedish singer of Swedish and Italian descent originally from Stockholm who has been active as a musician since 2006.

Maggio began her career in 2006 after the release of her debut single 'Dumpa mig', translated into English meaning Dump Me. ZTV were big supporters from the beginning, airing the accompanying video to 'Dumpa mig' in the early days, it went on to chart at #14 on the Swedish singles chart. She found greater chart success with the following single 'Nöjd?/Satisfied?' which peaked at #6. After this initial success Veronica was signed to Universal Music and went on tour to promote her early music.

After a positive start within the music industry, she released her debut album 'Vatten och bröd' which charted at #14 on the album charts, coincidently the same position her debut single achieved. Since then she has released three albums and has seen her popularity grow hugely within Scandinavia. 'Satan i gatan' was released in 2011 and charted atop the Swedish charts as well as peaking at #2 in neighbouring Norway. It is a particularly impressive album as all three singles lifted from it went top five in Sweden, yet the other remaining eight tracks also charted within the top 30 despite not receiving official releases.

Her 2013 album 'Handen i fickan fast jag bryr mig' mirrored the success of its predecessor. It charted at #1 in Sweden, included a top ten official single and the other ten tracks all appeared within the top 40 of the chart. In 2012, Maggio scooped three awards at the Grammisgalan Maggio for Pop of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and Composer of the Year.

Live reviews

Veronica Maggio, is the beautifully exotic singer songwriter from Sweden but notably of Italian origin. Her audience is a mixed bag of students and young professionals, ready to experience her soul pop vibe. It’s all about the sound that she makes live, complete with her band, who back her so well with the well crafted chord voicings that they endorse. She signed to Universal Music back in 2006 and is still going strong. It’s all about the singles tonight. She’s definitely the kind of artist who goes for the hits more than the albums. Her song “Mandagsbarn” which was a Scandinavian hit, going to number one in Norway and eight in Denmark, is the song that coaxes people out of their barstools and on to the dancefloor to throw some serious shapes. Her vocal ornamentation is very strong showcasing a strong calibre, and her evident training over the years. “Jag Kommer” is the songstresses closing song. Which saw the whole venue just come to life, for her Swedish number one smash.
