Linnea Matilda Olsson (born 1983) is a Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, best known and acclaimed as a cellist. A former member of the band Isildurs Bane, she released her first album, Ah!, in 2012,[1] followed by a second album Breaking and Shaking in 2014.
Together with Jennie Abrahamson, she was an opening act Jennie + Linnea and background singer and tour cellist on Peter Gabriel's Back to Front-So tour from 2012 to the end of 2014. Both thus replaced the originally scheduled Ane Brun with her band as support act, which would have also included Linnea Olsson,[2] and Linnea Olsson replaced Ane Brun as background singer.[3][4][5]
She was the singer for the 2019 rhythm-action video game Sayonara Wild Hearts,[6][non-primary source needed] with music composed by Daniel Olsén and Jonathan Eng.
