Linnea Schössow

Linnea Schössow grew up in Helsingborg, Sweden, and broke into the international vocal-trance scene through her 2013 collaboration with Jo Micali on "Beyond the Sea" and the 2014 track "Tears" with Ben Nicky. Both records placed her in the upper bracket of female trance vocalists immediately, and the breadth of producer collaborations across the following decade — including Cosmic Gate, Aly & Fila, Standerwick, and others — extended her catalogue substantially. What distinguishes Schössow from the typical vocalist-feature profile is the dual identity she has built. She is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, an active producer, and the CEO of Auditory Recordings — her own label launched to release vocalist-led trance and adjacent electronic material. The role places her among the small number of female trance vocalists who have built editorial-and-business careers alongside their vocal performance work, in the model that the vocal-credit essay in the blog catalogue treats as the future of the genre's vocal-collaboration credit pattern. Beyond the recording catalogue, Schössow runs a radio show in Ireland and tours internationally. Her Instagram profile lists her identity as "singer, songwriter, producer & CEO of Auditory Recordings" — an unusual self-presentation in a genre where vocalists have historically been credited only for their vocal contributions, and a meaningful signal about how the next generation of trance vocalists are positioning themselves. Her Spotify monthly listeners sit at roughly 82K — comfortably mid-bracket but reflective of a deeply engaged audience that follows her writing, production, and label work as well as her vocal features. For listeners interested in where vocal trance is going in 2026 — and specifically in how the next generation of women in the genre are reframing the vocalist role — Linnea Schössow is one of the central names to watch.
