**SINCE her debut album** *Rekviem* was released in 2013, Imam has become one of Sweden’s biggest rappers, being crowned *Writer of the year* at the Music Publishers’ Prize 2015 and *Live artist of the year* at Swedish radio awards P3 Gold and *Artist of the year* at the Swedish Grammy awards in 2016.

Her acclaimed sequel album *Naturkraft* was released in 2016 when her *Regnbågsfärger över Sverige* tour took place throughout Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.

In 2017 she took a break from touring. She released two new singles, a coffee table book and a documentary film about her life and career which premiered in September 2017 and has been playing cinemas in Sweden and film festivals around the world.

In January 2018 the film *Silvana – Väck mig när ni vaknat* won the best documentary award at Guldbaggen (the Swedish Oscars).

Imam’s first single in 2018 *Vikken Da* from the upcoming album *Holy Mother* is a call for changes in society. Patience is over, patriarchy powers are dead and across Europe there is a shift of power evident from different emerging political and social movements. This is more than rap music!

**Silvana says:** *“With ‘Holy Mother’ I have experimented and challenged myself, my ways of making music and my voice more than I ever did. I’ve been uncomfortable and those feelings have led me to make the best songs I’ve done to date”.*

EuroPride 2018 – A Pride in two cities, in one country, for a united Europe open to the world – takes place in Stockholm from July 27 – August 5 and in Gothenburg from August 14 – 19.
