Early Life

Marie Fredriksson was born Gun-Marie Fredriksson on May 30, 1958 in Ossjo, Scania, Sweden. She grew up with her four older siblings and her parents, Charles and Inez Fredriksson. When Marie was four years old, her parents sold their farm and moved to Ostra Ljungby, where her father began working as a postman, and her mother became a factory worker. Three years after the move, one of her older sisters, Anna-Lisa, was killed in a car crash as she was on her way to purchase a dress for her engagement party. Fredriksson was seven at the time.

Because her parents had to work full time, the rest of the children were often left home alone to entertain themselves. It was during this time that Fredriksson learned to sing, read music, and play various instruments. She was also musically inspired and encouraged by her Sunday school pastor. As she became a teenager, her interest in music continued to grow, and she started discovering artists like The Beatles,Joni Mitchell,Jimi Hendrix, and Deep Purple. When Marie was 17, she enrolled in a music school. There, she befriended students from the theatre department by composing music for their plays.

One of the musicals toured Sweden with its run culminating with a performance for the Prime Minister.
