About Musikmakarna
Musikmakarna is Sweden's first songwriting education founded in 1998 by Ulla Sjöström. Since its inception, the institution has delivered loads of sought-after songwriters, producers and artists to the music industry in Sweden and globally, as well as established wide networks all over the world.
The combination of the unique environment at the High Coast, the close collaboration with the music industry, the cluster of a large number of like-minded creators and the access to studios 24/7 are some of the factors that create the conditions for our students' successes.
In addition to our work with the global music industry, we also collaborate with organizations such as the Tim Bergling Foundation, Dua Lipa's Sunny Hill Foundation, YouTube, and more.

The school has not only lifted an entire professional category to unimagined heights, but also made a big contribution to gender equality in the Swedish music industry."

"Through the founding of Musikmakarna, she has worked to ensure that many successful songwriters have been trained and that we in the municipality and the rest of the world have had access to priceless musical treasures. Musikmakarna have made great efforts for gender equality in a male-dominated industry and have also contributed to the fact that, among other things, musicians from Ukraine have been given a safe haven at the school".
