Linn Berggren

Malin Sofia Katarina Berggren (born 31 October 1970) is a former Swedish singer-songwriter, best known as a member of the pop music band Ace of Base. Having been interested and involved in music since her childhood, she formed the band in 1987, along with her sister Jenny, her brother Jonas and their friend Ulf Ekberg. Before forming Ace of Base, Malin sang in her church's choir. She was born in Gothenburg, Sweden. When Ace of Base was signed to Danish label Mega Records in 1990, Malin, or Linn as she became known, chose to put her teaching career on hold. In 1997, Linn said: "I wanted to sing; I never wanted to be a singer". That year, she began to fade out of the spotlight, leading to her last public appearance in 2002. According to her brother Jonas, Linn has been living a peaceful life since then. Her vocal range during her time with the group was contralto.[edit]
