In the modern musical world, many styles and trends are developing. R&B is very popular. One of the most prominent representatives of this style is the Swedish singer, author of music and words Mabel.
The origin, strong sound of her voice and her own style became the hallmark of a celebrity and provided her with worldwide fame. Genetics, perseverance and talent are the secrets of her worldwide popularity.
Swedish star Mabel: the beginning of a creative journey
Mabel Alabama Pearl Mc Vey is the daughter of Swedish singer, MTV Music Awards and Grammy nominee Nene Marianne Karlsson. Mabel was born on February 20, 1996 in the Spanish city of Malaga, located in the southern part of the country.
The girl grew up under the direct influence of music - her grandfather was the famous jazz performer Don Cherry, and her mother in the 1990s became famous for such hits as: Buffalo Stance and 7 Seconds.
The father of the future star was a British composer, producer of Massive Attack Cameron McVey. In addition to Mabel, her younger sister Tyson, who is now the lead singer of the PANES duo, was brought up in the family. The singer has an older half-brother Marlon Rudette, known for his participation in the Mattafix band.
From an early age, the girl traveled a lot with her parents, who often changed cities due to their active creative life. Before moving to Sweden (1999), the Mabel family lived in Paris and New York. The singer spent her childhood in Stockholm, where she studied piano at one of the elite schools in the country, Rytmus, whose graduates were many talented performers and musicians.
At school age, the girl had practically no friends. She was an introverted dreamer who devoted herself entirely to music and her aspirations to become a star. Thanks to her talents and education, the singer writes worthy pieces of music.
Mabel's Star Trek
In 2015, the young, ambitious Mabel moved to London. The first single, thanks to which the artist gained wide popularity, was Know Me Better. The song got into rotation on Radio 1. The next step on the road to stardom was the recording of songs Thinking of You and My Boy My Town.
It was the song Thinking of You that was recognized as the hit of the summer according to The Guardians. Already in November, video clips were shot for these songs, which gained millions of views on YouTube.
The release of Finders Keepers gave the singer significant success and increased ratings. The track was number one on the UK Singles Chart for five weeks.

Also in 2017, the mini-album Bedroom was released (duration 15 min 4 sec). It included only 4 tracks: Talk About Forever, Finders Keepers, Ride or Die and Bedroom.
After the album, the aspiring star created the compilation Ivy To Roses, which included the hits Begging and One Shot. This mixtape became one of the top 100 compilations in Germany, Canada, England, Ireland. Mabel's tour of Britain and Europe was bright and eventful, in which she went with the famous performer Harry Styles.
The singer became an invited guest at one of the most popular festivals in California, Coachella. At the end of a fruitful year, the star was presented in nominations for the MOBO Awards and the Grammis Award.
In 2018, the artist, together with Dimitri Roger and DJ Jax Jones, released the single Ring Ring. This work has become one of the most high-profile in Mabel's musical career. She instantly won the leading positions of the charts, and in the UK Singles Chart she took 12th position.
