Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA: A Musical Legacy, Smart Business, and a Life Without Glamour

Björn Ulvaeus is far more than a member of ABBA.
He is the architect behind some of the most timeless pop songs ever written—songs about love, loss, hope, and the passage of time that continue to resonate across generations.
Born far from the glittering lights of the global stage, in a quiet port city in Sweden, Björn grew up shaped by the discipline of the postwar generation. His childhood in the small coastal town of Västervik, combined with a deep fascination for American blues music, laid the foundation for a songwriting style that is honest, simple, and emotionally powerful.
