Page "Frida Lyngstad" Paragraph 6

Lyngstad stated in several interviews that her grandmother frequently sang songs to her ( notably old Norwegian songs ), which resulted in her love for music.

She soon showed musical talent at a very early age, beginning in her first years at school.

On Fridays, she was often asked by her teacher to sing in front of the class and soon became known in school and in the neighbourhood for her beautiful voice.

Although her grandmother encouraged her to sing ( according to Lyngstad herself ), she never attended any of her performances.

Her grandmother died shortly before ABBA formed and therefore never experienced the success of the group.
