Therese Grankvist
Therese Grankvist (born 2 May 1977) is a Swedish singer and songwriter. She started recording in 1997 under the Drömhus alias, and goes by Therese since the release of her single "Monkey" in 2002. She may be best known for her internationally successful collaborations with Swedish DJ and producer StoneBridge, "Put 'Em High" and "Take Me Away", released on Hed Kandi in 2004.
Therese started her own label Vixon Records in 2014.
Early life
Therese Grankvist spent her childhood in Nässjö, Sweden. She later moved to Tullinge (near Stockholm) at the age of 13.
Career
1997–2000: Drömhus and Melodifestivalen
Therese's career started when she called a record company and recorded her singing on their answering machine. When she later met Dr. Alban, he convinced her to join the new eurodance project Drömhus. At first, Drömhus was meant to consist of two men and Therese, but eventually shrank to just Therese and the producers.
In 1997, Drömhus's first single "Du och jag" ("You and I") was released. The big breakthrough, however, came in 1998 with the single "Vill ha dig" ("Want You"), a cover of a hit by the band Freestyle in the 1980s.
Therese (novel)
Therese. Chronik eines Frauenlebens (Therese: The Chronicle of a Woman's Life) is a novel by Arthur Schnitzler first published in 1928.
It is about a woman who gives birth to an illegitimate child during the final decades of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and who, having to live in poverty herself, is unable to secure an education for her son. Therese has a succession of lovers all of whom act irresponsibly towards her. Eventually she meets a wealthy Jewish entrepreneur who proposes to her. However, his sudden death before they can get married thwarts all her hopes of the good life, and in the end she is killed by her ungrateful and estranged son Franz.
