A Midwestern girl, Myrra was born in a Chicago, Illinois blizzard, and spent her childhood snowed in in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her parents, wanting to explore life in “The Old Country”, moved the family accross the Atlantic to Stockholm, Sweden, when Myrra was in her early teens. Music always played an important role in her life although she never considered it as a profession. Growing up Myrra wanted to become a veterinarian, a naturalist, a dog psychologist or an anthropologist. Playing various instruments and taking dance classes was just as much fun as participating in the weekend softball games or fencing matches. She has played Maria in West Side Story (Gothenburg), Evita in Evita (Stockholm), Christine in the Phantom of the opera (London), Cosette in Les Misérable (London) and Estella in Great Expectations (London). In 1998 she finished 3rd in the Swedish finals for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Julia. She has also appeared as the voice of Jasmine in the Swedish version of Disney’s Aladdin, the voice of Princess Ariel in The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, and The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning and as Megara in Disney’s Hercules.
