Irya Gmeyner spent her early years in Newcastle, England. She moved with her English parents to Sweden but returned to York, England, as a teenager, where she made a living as a busker playing balalajka in the streets. Back in Lund, Sweden, she has played in the bands Circus Cirkör and URGA. She has recently released a solo EP.

Ana Laan was born in Madrid (Spain), but grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, in a trilingual home (English, Spanish and Swedish). She has lived in Sweden, Spain, England and New York.

Ana has recorded (backing vocals) with Javier Álvarez, Jorge Drexler (ex-husband and winner of an Oscar for his song in the film Motorcycle Diaries, where incidentally the backing vocals are all her own!) and others. She also recorded two CDs under the pseudonym Rita Calypso and was a member of the girly-pop duo Magic Whispers.

Laan has released two solo albums, “Orégano” (2004) and “Chocolate and roses” (2008). She has performed in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Buenos Aires.

Swedish (and even Scandinavian pop in general) is awesome. There are many great pop bands from 80s, 90’s and today

Kent.... I don’t know, I think Europe and Joey Tempest were and are much better (for rock purposes)
