Born in the countryside of Sweden, Dahlstrom began studying classical music at the age of four. She spent her teenage years writing songs and performing with local bands. Dahlstrom’s professional career began when she signed a publishing deal with EMI. Dahlstrom spent countless hours in the EMI studio learning the craft of producing and experimenting with different genres of music.
Dahlstrom traveled to the US in 1999 where she soon sparked a buzz in the music scene leading the NYC underground band aboyandagirl. With Dahlstrom center stage, an aboyandagirl show delivered live music with a passionand energy that matched the best. Within a year of its creation, aboyandagirl were signed to RuffLife/Warner Records.
In 2003, Dahlstrom decided to go solo. While the music of aboyandagirl had been a little on the dark and trippy side, Dahlstrom wanted the new material to be up-tempo and uplifting. An EP version of The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade was released digitally in 2004 and another EP called Bible Bombastik (featuring songs such as “Hello California” and “Little Helper”) was released in 2006.
As part of the promotional campaign, Dahlstrom started licensing the tracks to various projects, with great success. Her name and music has helped promote global brands like Miller Lite, Subaru, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile and she has been featured in TV series such as One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars.
Recently, “Superstar Car Crash” was featured on the latest season of Big Brother Australia where a whole episode was dedicated to the cast making a music video for it. The video is hilarious and a perfect match to Dahlstrom’s music. The video has become a YouTube classic and the song a favorite of the folks down under.
For the full-length release of The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade, Dahlstrom has combined the best songs from both EPs and also recorded a couple of new ones. New titles include “C’mon Y’All, “Bombastic” and “Wearing The Peace”.
