During the last decades, Sweden has produced many successful songwriters, and this trend keeps growing. Based on unique data, we at STIM now present +100! – a list of the fastest-rising songwriters in the country. The list displays 53 music creators, such as Cornelia Jakobs, Anton ‘Litens’ Nilsson, and Moonica Mac.

The songwriters on the list are in an explosive phase of their careers, and their royalty payments from STIM increased by more than 100 percent last year. We want to highlight these writers and enable an exchange of experiences. But also to create new collaborations and allow them to develop their music-making.

The list represents a variety of genres, including K-pop, theme songs, metal, art music, movie scores, songs for children, and hip-hop. Some of the most successful writers during 2022 are Maxida Märak, Marcus White, Sofia Hallgren, and Kiddo.

"Such a joy to be a part of this list! It is a receipt of the hard work that has finally paid off. And to be on this list for the second consecutive year is totally unreal and at the same time extremely energizing", says Sofia Hallgren, composer of music for movies, TV, and commercials.
