Matilda Bådagård is a Swedish singer, multi-musician, songwriter and composer for film and performing arts.

Her music is earthy, organic and human. Minimalistic and raw Nordic Noir in combination with airy, orchestral musical landscapes. She oscillates freely between melodic, folkloristic themes, abstract and experimental sounds and rythmic, whimsical features. Improvisation and intuition are important building stones in her process. As is the urge to enhance stories with music, crafting each film or stage soundtrack to be distinctively integrated with its respective storyline.

A broad expertise in many genres and various instruments skills is beneficial in her composing work. Delving deeply into Scandinavian folk traditions and exploring musical influences from across the globe, particularly South America, she brings a rich tapestry of sounds to her compositions. Matilda has a art degree in jazz music from The Royal College of Music in Stockholm. She has also studied classical violin.

Matilda Bådagård is also a recording and touring artist. Together with Maja Långbacka, she forms the award winning pop-meets-folk duo Långbacka/Bådagård, known for their unique way of blending traditional folk music with pop and jazz.
