Laleh is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on June 10, 1982 in Iran, Iran. Some of her favorite musicians include John Coltrane, Leonard Cohen, Billie Holiday, Cat Stevens, Prince, Stevie Wonder, and ABBA.

She is the daughter of Houshang Pourkarim, who died in 1994. An opponent of the Islamic regime in Tehran, he was an artist, journalist and prominent Iranian ethnologist and rural sociologist from Bandar-e Anzali. During her appearance on Så mycket bättre, she discussed her tough childhood, moving from country to country, and how she witnessed her father’s death. At a summer camp in 1994, he tried to rescue a woman who had fallen from her canoe into the water. As Houshang paddled out to help her, the canoe overturned. The woman survived but Laleh’s father drowned. Laleh’s mother, Atefe, was a refugee from Georgia via Azerbaijan before she went to Iran to study comparative literature at the University of Tehran. Once the family arrived in Sweden, Laleh learned Swedish in eleven days, according to a media account of her biography.

Beginning her career in acting, she had a major role in the Swedish movie Jalla! Jalla!, directed by Josef Fares, which was a big success at the Swedish box office in 2000. Laleh moved to Stockholm in 2010 after living in Skellefteå for two years. Until 2011 she was known for her reluctance to give interviews, but more recently she has been more accessible to the media, including appearing on talk shows and other TV programs, a move that has benefited her career.

She was born in Bandar-e Anzali, Gilan, Iran and remained there only for a year before fleeing to Azerbaijan. She then went to Minsk and finally settled in a refugee camp in Tidaholm, Sweden when she was 9.

Her 2005 self-titled debut earned her seven Swedish Grammis nominations and three wins for Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year, and Producer of the Year.

After taking a break, Laleh returned to release her third studio album in 2009, Me and Simon. It contained a more folk pop sound than previous rock or soul-tinged tracks which has been attributed to the surroundings of moving from a big city to the northern Swedish town of Skellefteå in 2006. One of the nature reserves in the town was her inspiration for “Bjurö klubb”. It was met with mixed to positive reviews by Swedish critics. The first single released from the album “Simon Says” peaked at number forty-one on the Swedish Singles Chart. Due to strong downloads from the album, the first track from the LP, “Big City Love”, also charted at number thirty-two. It was later released as a single in May 2009 but failed to return to the chart. Two further releases, “Bjurö klubb” and “Mysteries” failed to chart at the time.

In 2011 she took part in the second season of Swedish reality TV show Så mycket bättre (So much better) on TV4. The show puts well-known Swedish musicians up against each other to create new interpretations of the other artists songs. She participated along with Timbuktu, Eva Dahlgren, Lena Philipsson, E-Type, Tomas Ledin and Mikael Wiehe and soon emerged as the favourite with her cover versions regularly topping the Swedish iTunes download charts and the official Sverigetopplistan downloads chart following the release of the weekly compilations of the week’s covers from the show. Laleh’s cover of Eva Dahlgren “Ängeln I Rummet” (Angel in the Room) reached number six on the official Swedish Singles Chart whilst topping the downloads chart in December 2011 to become her most successful song in Sweden to date in terms of peak chart position and until the release of “Some Die Young” sales too. Similarly her renditions of Tomas Ledin’s “Just Nu” (Right Now) and Timbuktu’s “Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö” (Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die) peaked at number 25, whilst “Here I Go Again” peaked at number one on the digital chart. During the showings of Så mycket bättre, Laleh broke a Swedish digital chart record by having ten songs on the top sixty list, including nine inside the top 40, as a number of catalogue songs returned to the chart, including the first placement for “Bjurö klubb”. Additionally two interpretations of her songs by other artists appeared, bringing a total of twelve songs with her involvement in the chart at once. Tolkningarna (Interpretations), an extended play of all of the songs she performed on the show was released digitally on 25 December 2011 and was also bundled with the physical release of her following studio album.
