Linnéa Ljungblad // L RIVR
Linnéa Ljungblad is an artist, musician and producer from the west coast of Sweden. Music and creating have been steady companions throughout most of her life, at the core of which has been a curiosity and exploration of sounds through different instruments, machines and voice, paving the way into music production.
Writing songs, playing instruments and being part of various bands has been her way of learning and enjoying music. At the same time she honed her craft experimenting her way through kulturskolan in Varberg, estetiska programmet at Peder Skrivares Gymnasium, a Diploma in Songwriting at BIMM London and a BA in Music and Sound Production at the University of Gothenburg.

In 2017 Linnéa created the music for the short film “I Slutet av Tunneln” by Ellen Carlsson Axberg and Emelie Koren. “I Slutet av Tunneln” won several awards, including Best Original Score at the national short film festival Novemberfestivalen in Trollhättan.
Since 2018 Linnéa is a member of Swedish realism-pop band Riga Tiger. In September 2023 they released their 4th album First Day Of Spring För Livet, recorded, produced and mixed by Linnéa and Klara at Music-a-matic studios.
Linnéa also makes music under the name L RIVR, a solo project where she is creating captivating, heartfelt pop, driven by piano melodies and rhythms that blend soul and energy. The music of L RIVR strikes a balance between emotional depth and infectious grooves, evoking feelings that make you want to cry, dance, and sing along. Influenced by artists like The Band, Tom Waits, and Christine and the Queens, L RIVR’s sound is both classic and new, weaving personal stories into every note with raw emotion and musicality.
There is a solo debut album in the making and the first single “Creases” will be released early 2025.
Linnéa’s interests in music are wide and vast; making pop music, sound art, music and sound for film, recording, mixing and producing for others. But the core is always the same - communication. For her, music is communication - the study of it, the complexity of it and the beauty of it.
