Cecilia Kallin is a Swedish show producer, artist and songwriter with over 15 years of experience in the music industry. She first gained attention as the lead singer and guitarist of the folk-pop band Timoteij, which became well-known in Sweden for its distinctive blend of pop and folk music. Since then, Cecilia has expanded her career, contributing to both the music scene and live event production.
Today, Cecilia runs her own event and show production company, specializing in creating custom music experiences for a wide range of clients, including companies, hotels, and restaurants across Sweden. Since 2019, she has had the pleasure of producing Best Western’s dinner shows for the sixth consecutive year, demonstrating her expertise in curating memorable events.
As a solo artist, Cecilia has continued to explore new musical avenues. She released her debut EP Honey in November 2020, which features a collection of guitar-driven pop songs with a laid-back, ’90s-inspired vibe. Collaborating with songwriters Bobby Ljunggren, David Lindgren Zacharias, Andreas Mattsson and Josef Melin, Cecilia has continued to develop her unique sound.
In 2023, Cecilia released her second EP Cloud 9, a collection of feel-good country pop songs. The lead single, Wait for Me, a collaboration with Joel Nuñez, was well-received, making it onto New Music Friday Sweden and New Music Friday Country playlists. The song also earned a second-place finish in the P4 Nästa 2023 competition, where it gained attention from both the public and industry jury.
Alongside her solo work, Cecilia leads the country pop band SIBLINGS. Their debut single, Coming Home, marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their musical journey, culminating in a recent signing with the respected Swedish label Emperial.
In addition to her folk and country pop music career, Cecilia has also explored other genres. In 2021, she launched the club music project CERA, which reimagined Timoteij’s hit Kom in a Spanish club remix with Universal Music.
Cecilia’s passion for visual storytelling is evident in her music videos. For her releases Wait for Me and Music Won’t Stop, she worked on video shots in Stockholm, while previous projects have taken her to locations like Blyde River Canyon in South Africa and Paris. Her video for I Really Like You involved her fans by inviting them to contribute clips of themselves singing along, adding a personal touch to the project.
As a songwriter, Cecilia is currently exploring the K-pop market, with one notable release being Algorhythm by the popular group ITZY. She has also written songs for artists in Sweden, Japan and Norway, with one of her tracks competing in Melodi Grand Prix Norway in 2017. She has a growing catalog of work, which can be found in the Written by Cecilia Kallin playlist on Spotify.
Beyond music, Cecilia has also ventured into jewelry design, collaborating with the Swedish brand SEVEN/EAST on the Harmony by Cecilia Kallin collection.
