Klara Goliger

Artist bio

Gothenburg based artist and producer Klara Goliger has been playing music since childhood. She started off studying classical composition but moved on to the production field and took her bachelor in sound and music production from the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg.

Her solo debut “The Piano Chair” was released fall 2022, highly acknowledged by local journalists calling it “close to sensational” and “the most ambitious debut album from Gothenburg in many, many years”. Her fragile, melancholic pop has influences ranging from minimalism to jazz to dream pop with inspirations such as Fiona Apple  and Joni Mitchell.

Her second album "Words" (released in 2024) refined what was already on her debut, such as inventive arrangements and playfulness, while also developing new aspects in production and songwriting. Dagens Nyheter wrote that Goliger "has an artistic vision that few other pop acts" and Göteborgs-Posten described the listening experience as an "endorphin rush." Sydsvenskan highlighted the Christian Kjellvander duet "Like a Window" as one of the strongest songs of the fall. When Goliger performed with her band on SVT's "Babel," she increasingly came across as Sweden's foremost hope for avant-garde pop.

Since the release of her debut album, Klara has been performing across both Sweden and Norway. In 2026, she will release new music and play across Europe, continuing to build her presence as one of Scandinavia’s most exciting emerging avant-pop artists.

Klara is also working as a music producer at ORCA Sounds, located in Music-a-Matic studios (home to the first records of Håkan Hellström, Blue for Two, Anna Von Hausswolff etc.).
