Lisa Nilsson is a Swedish singer. She was discovered by the producer William Butt and she is perhaps best known in Sweden for her 1992 hit, Himlen runt h�rnet, written by Mauro Scocco and Johan Ekelund. It was released in English in 1995, titled Ticket to Heaven. She has released four subsequent albums, Till Morelia in 1995, Viva in 2000, Sm� rum in 2002 and Hotel Vermont 609 in 2006, all in Swedish. A greatest hits compilation, Samlade s�nger followed in 2003 and contained two new songs. Prior to Himlen runt h�rnet she had released two English language albums, Lean On Love in 1989 and Indestructible in 1991, both released by William Butt. Nilsson's style ranges from out and out pop music to soul-inflected ballads and dance tracks on her earlier albums to a more mature jazz feel in her more recent work, perhaps reflecting familial connections as her father G�sta Nilsson is a jazz pianist. In 2002 she moved into acting with appearances in the Swedish TV sitcom, Cleo and a role in the Swedish film Paradiset made by British-born director Colin Nutley. In February 2007 she gave birth to a daughter.
