Takida

Takida formed in 1999. With their first couple of demo recordings things got going organically as they started to spread in their home regions, and slowly but surely the reputation reached the rest of the country. With a record deal secured, the debut album “Make You Breathe” was released in 2006, which in short put them in a spot as one of the biggest up and coming rock acts in Sweden. With extensive touring, the band gradually built a large live audience. In 2007, the quintet got their well-deserved breakthrough with the single “Curly Sue”. The song sold 10x platinum and broke records by placing 54 weeks on Svensktoppen. Since then, radio successes have been constant with songs such as “Handlake Village”, “The Things We Owe” and “You Learn”, with which Takida has established themselves as one of the most played bands on Swedish radio during the 2000s. Takida have secured no less than five #1 albums on the Swedish chart, becoming one of the best-selling bands in Sweden. In 2018, the international career took off when joining forces with BMG. With the singles “Master” and “What About Me?” from the critically acclaimed album “Sju”, came their breakthrough in the German market. “Master” proved to be one of Takida’s greatest radio successes of all time, reaching #1 on both Svensktoppen and German rock radio charts, #122 on German mainstream radio charts, while the album reached #29 on German album charts.
