Solveig is actually a multiple musical talent – she has been singing since she was three years old, she writes lyrics and music to songs she is performing either with a band or playing the guitar herself. She also regularly performs classical piano music. Like her father Gottfrid Gräsbeck, she is also a keen debater; before long, she ended up with a Master of Arts degree (Åbo Akademi/Turku Academy), with Philosophy as her main subject.

As 10 years old Solveig needed a bike. In order to afford it, she participated in a children’s song contest with three entries, which she provided with different pseudonyms, one of them ‘Robert Schubert’. Participants of all ages were allowed to take part. She was awarded the first three prizes...! (However, the first prize shared). Her effortless ability to create lyrics, melodies and music already at this age was astounding. No one really told her ‘you should actually try some composing and guitar playing’, etc. – She simply did it as self-taught, as the most natural thing to do. During her teens, and also long before that, Solveig performed a lot with her blond twin sister Eva (They definitely do not look the same!). Sometimes also the older sister Yvonne joined, and their singing as a group of three with guitars was thoroughly popular. The singing twin duo was succesful at several talent competitions – as they won the nation-wide Nuorison Taidetapahtuma the verdict by the jury was as follows: ‘Very musical, stylish and well-planned performance, with special plus to own songs and arrangements, as well as good contact with the audience’. Solveig got an honorary mentioning as a composer.
