After initially playing in various bands and collaborating with changing other artists, she launched a solo career in Sweden in 2006. Supported by her friends Friska Viljor and Ane Brun, Abrahamson founded her own record label in 2007.
She also runs a recording studio in Stockholm with her longtime partner Johannes Berglund.
She is often critical of the adversities of the music business. She originally studied psychology and was considering returning to this field when she received the request to go on tour with Peter Gabriel.[1]
She toured with Peter Gabriel on his Back to Front-So tour in 2013 and 2014 together with Linnea Olsson. Both replaced the ill Ane Brun and her band as support act.[2] Linnea Olsson also replaced Ane Brun as a background singer, together with Jennie Abrahamson, at the concerts in North America and Europe.[3] [4] [5]
During this tour, she also took over Kate Bush's vocal parts on the songs No Self Control and Don't Give Up. She appears on Love Can Heal on Peter Gabriel's tenth album i/o.
Since 2006 Abrahamson has recorded six solo albums, from which some single releases were successful in Sweden, Germany and France.
