Charlotte Perrelli (born October 7, 1974) is a Swedish singer who lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with her husband and two sons. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1999 with the song "Take Me To Your Heaven". Since then she has released six singles and four albums.

Biography

1987-1998: At thirteen Charlotte joined a local band in Hovmantorp in the Småland-province in southern Sweden. The band Bengt Ingvars became Bengt Ingvars med Charlotte. After finishing her compulsory school education Charlotte moved from Hovmantorp to the neighbouring town of Växjö where she attended the High School of Performing Arts. She also became the lead singer of the band Kendix. In 1994 Charlotte started singing with the well-established Anders Engbergs Orkester. After two albums, Charlotte left the band and joined the highly successful Wizex. The years with Wizex gave Charlotte the opportunity to develop her skills as a performer. Larger venues and professional management produced results. In 1998 the band was nominated for a Swedish "Grammis" (Grammy) for the album "Mot Nya Mål" and the album "Tusen och En Natt" sold gold. Charlotte was ready to go solo.

1999-2000: After being selected as the Swedish contestant for the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest Charlotte went to Jerusalem in late May to compete with her song "Take Me To Your Heaven". She won and her solo career really took to the skies. The following months were hectic for Charlotte, she toured Europe and started working on her first solo album; the self titled "Charlotte". Later that year Charlotte was voted Sweden's sexiest woman by the magazine Café.

2001-2003: In 2001 she released her second album, which included the top 20 hit single "You Got Me Going Crazy", written by Johan Ã…berg and Paul Rein, known for their work with Christina Aguilera and Victoria Beckham. Charlotte hosted the first semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2003 together with Mark Levengood and Lena Philipsson. In April of 2003 she did Jesus Christ Superstar. In September she released the new single "Broken Heart", which was followed up by the album "Gone Too Long" in June 2004.

2004-2007: After the success in Melodifestivalen 2003, Charlotte was once again offered to host Melodifestivalen 2004. Charlotte, Peter Settman and Ola Lindström hosted the entire tour together. After the festival, TV4 offered her an own show on the channel. The show was called "Super Troupers" which was a talent-show for kids. One of the contestants was Amy Diamond, who is now a successful singer.

In summer 2004 she released her most successful album to date - "Gone Too Long" - which included songs by some of Sweden's top producers, including Jörgen Elofsson. She also joined Robert Wells, Jill Johnson and others on the Rhapsody In Rock-tour during the summer.

In May Charlotte was the Swedish expert in the Nordic preview show panel discussion about the Eurovision Song Contest. The contestants and their songs and chances to win will be commented on. She was also a part of the panel in 2005. In summer Charlotte will tour Sweden with the yearly successful Diggiloo. She will be joined by singers such as Linda Bengtzing, Lasse Holm, Molly Sandén, Lotta Engberg and Jan Johansen. A new single is expected in late June.
