Anne-Lie Ryd� is a Swedish pop and rock singer. Ryd� grew up on Liding�, but moved to Gothenburg in 1976. There she played with the Gothenburg-based band Extra from 1978 to 1983. She moved back to Stockholm in 1983 and broke through as a solo artist that year with the eponymous album "Anne-Lie Ryd�." Her first hit was "Segla p� ett moln", written by Per Gessle. Anne-Lie Ryd� was visually inspired by Punk and Nina Hagen, but musically she played rock. She wrote a number of songs herself. She toured in 1983-84 with Dan Hylander, Py B�ckman and the Raj Montana Band, and in 1985 received a Rockbj�rnen and a Karamelodiktstipendiet, a scholarship awarded for innovation in music in Swedish. She had serious problems with her vocal cords in 1987 and almost had to stop singing, but managed to recover with "Mellan ljus och m�rker" in 1989. The 1990s were a turning point in Ryd�'s career; she began singing pop music instead of rock. In 1992 the album "Stulna kyssar" became Ryd�'s biggest success to date and in 1993 was followed by a show of the same name.
