Who I Am: Veronica Maggio, From Uppsala
I'm Veronica Maggio, a Swedish singer and songwriter. Here is the short version of who I am, where I come from and what my music sounds like.
Where am I from?
Uppsala, Sweden. I was born there on 15 March 1981. My full name is Veronica Sandra Karin Maggio: my mother is Swedish and my father is Italian, which is where the Maggio comes from.
When did it start?
March 2006. That's when my first single, "Dumpa mig", came out. My first album, Vatten och bröd, followed on 6 September 2006, with the singles "Dumpa mig", "Nöjd?" and "Havanna mamma". That first record brought me a Grammis as newcomer.
What kind of music do I make?
Pop and soul. Songs about everyday life, sung straight. Since that debut I've made eight studio albums, from Vatten och bröd to Sciura in 2025.
Which songs should you start with?
The early ones: "Dumpa mig" and "Måndagsbarn", the lead single of Och vinnaren är... in 2008, which topped the chart in Norway.
The big one: "Jag kommer", Sweden's top single of 2011, from Satan i gatan. That album went to number 1 in Sweden.
The later ones: "Sergels torg", "Kurt Cobain", "Tillfälligheter" and "Hornstullsstrand".
