Pelle Carlberg is a Swedish singer-songwriter whose wistful indie pop melodies and droll, literate lyrics have earned him a dedicated following in the international music scene. Born on October 21, 1969, in Uppsala, Sweden, Carlberg first came into the public eye as the frontman of the indie pop band Edson, which released several records in the late 90s and early 2000s. Following the disbandment of Edson, Carlberg embarked on a solo career, proving his adeptness at crafting charming and introspective songs that often reflect on everyday life with a blend of humor and earnestness.

His solo discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Everything. Now!" (2005) and "In A Nutshell" (2007), the latter including the well-received single "Go To Hell, Miss Rydell". His work typically features thoughtful arrangements and a distinctive voice that manages to be both tender and incisive. Pelle's lyrical prowess comes to the fore in tracks like "Riverbank" and "The Lilac Time", songs that resonate with the familiarity of personal narratives while holding a universal relatability. Throughout his solo journey, Pelle Carlberg has continued to establish himself as a perceptive and poetic troubadour in the world of indie pop, beloved for his ability to blend the sweet with the bittersweet in his melodic storytelling.
