Sofia Karlberg is a Swedish singer-songwriter, born December 6, 1996, who first gained a wide following through acoustic cover videos posted to YouTube before signing with Universal Music in 2016. Her stripped-down cover of Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” became a viral hit, charting internationally, and she has since released original material including the EPs “Spotless Mind” (2019) and “Hold My Love” (2022).

Karlberg’s viral covers helped establish her as one of Sweden’s notable YouTube-to-mainstream music success stories, with her original catalog reaching roughly 1.6 billion combined streams by the early 2020s.
