About Anne-Lie Rydé
- Anne-Lie Rydé (born 17 October 1956 in Stockholm) is a Swedish pop and rock singer.
- Rydé grew up on Lidingö, but moved to Gothenburg in 1976.
- There she played with the Gothenburg-based band Extra from 1978 to 1983.
- She moved back to Stockholm in 1983 and broke through as a solo artist that year with the eponymous album "Anne-Lie Rydé." Her first hit was "Segla på ett moln" (Sail On a Cloud), written by Per Gessle. Anne-Lie Rydé was visually inspired by Punk and Nina Hagen, but musically she played rock.
- She wrote a number of songs herself.
- She toured in 1983-84 with Dan Hylander, Py Bäckman and the Raj Montana Band, and in 1985 received a Rockbjörnen and a Karamelodiktstipendiet, a scholarship awarded for innovation in music in Swedish.
- She had serious problems with her vocal cords in 1987 and almost had to stop singing, but managed to recover with "Mellan ljus och mörker" in 1989.
- The 1990s were a turning point in Rydé's career; she began singing pop music instead of rock.
- In 1992 the album "Stulna kyssar" became Rydé's biggest success to date and in 1993 was followed by a show of the same name. She participated in Melodifestivalen in 2004, with "Säg att du har ångrat dig", 2005, with "Så nära", and 2007, with "Första gången", a duet with Svante Thuresson, failing to reach the final on all three occasions.
