Linnéa Ljungblad is an artist, musician and producer from the west coast of Sweden, working at ORCA Sounds, located in the legendary Music-a-Matic studios in Gothenburg.
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.

At the same time she honed her craft experimenting her way through 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, where she now also teach music production.

Linnéa 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, sometimes all at the same time. 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 April 16th 2026.
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.
