Taken By Trees is the solo project of Swedish singer-songwriter Victoria Bergsman, who first gained prominence as the lead vocalist for the indie pop band The Concretes. In 2006, she embarked on her solo venture with Taken By Trees, where her enchanting vocals and a distinctive blend of indie pop, folk, and world music elements craft a sound that is both ethereal and grounded. Bergsman has earned recognition for her emotive delivery and the intimate, introspective quality of her songwriting.

Taken By Trees debuted with "Open Field" in 2007, an album that introduced Bergsman's artistic shift and established her as a formidable presence as a solo artist. Her subsequent releases, "East of Eden" in 2009 and "Other Worlds" in 2012, saw her exploring various musical landscapes, from the Pakistani influences in "East of Eden" to the dreamy, Hawaiian-inspired sounds in "Other Worlds." Noteworthy tracks such as "Sweet Child o' Mine," a unique cover of the Guns N' Roses hit, showcase the transformative approach Bergsman applies to her music. With a discography that includes engaging originals like "Dreams" and captivating renditions like "Careless Whisper," Taken By Trees continues to enchant listeners with its sublime, transportive melodies.
