Josefine Lindstrand at Aarhus Jazz Festival (Denmark 2009)

Josefine Lindstrand is a Swedish singer. She received the Jazz in Sweden award for 2009 from the government agency Rikskonserter,[1] and her debut record There Will Be Stars was released soon afterwards. The album received a favourable review in Svenska Dagbladet.[2] In 2012 her second album Clouds was released. Lindenstrand used her middle name Britah for this record, which a reviewer in Dagens Nyheter characterised as pop rather than jazz.[3]

Lindstrand has also performed with artists such as Efterklang, Django Bates, Uri Caine, Petra Marklund, Veronica Maggio, Maia Hirasawa, Laleh, and Jonathan Johansson. She resides in Stockholm, Sweden.
