Miriam Melanie Bryant (born 8 March 1991[1]) is a Swedish-Finnish singer and songwriter. On 14 February 2016, she became the first act to simultaneously hold the top three entries on the Svensktoppen weekly record chart since its original release on 13 October 1962.[2][3]

Biography

[edit]

Influenced by her British father's musical heritage and her Finnish mother's melancholy, Miriam Bryant began to write songs in November 2011 together with her childhood friend, Victor Rådström who is a producer and songwriter. Four months later, she produced three songs released in her single debut "Finders, Keepers" in March 2012 through the record label 100 songs.[4] The song received worldwide attention among bloggers and music sites.[citation needed] She is signed to Warner Music in Sweden and to Interscope Records in the United States.

She has collaborated with music producer and DJ Zedd, who first heard her on the German radio.[5] Zedd made a remix of her song "Push Play" on his re-released album.[6]

Bryant released her Push Play EP on 8 October 2013 through Interscope Records, her debut release in the United States. In 2015, Bryant was one of eight artists being involved in the programme Så mycket bättre on the Swedish commercial channel TV4.[7]

The single "Black Car" became a hit in homeland Sweden, winning Song of the Year in 2016.[8] In 2017, Bryant was nominated for Best Live Act on the Swedish Grammis.[9] In 2018, British press wrote the following about her single—Clash magazine wrote "Highly Intelligent and completely infectious",[10] and The Line of Best Fit wrote "Miriam Bryant is your next pop superhero".[11] In 2018, she played at Roskilde Festival[12] and The Great Escape Festival,[13] to name a few.

In December 2019, she hosted the TV and radio fundraising project Musikhjälpen in Västerås together with Daniel Hallberg and Farah Abadi.

PS jag hatar dig (2021) was Bryant's first Swedish-language studio album; on the previous two she had sung in English. In 2024 she released her first Finnish-language single "Mustelmilla (Mi Amor)".[14]
