Forsberg's family moved from Sweden to Tortola in the West Indies when she was five years old, although her older sister Kajsa Ribbing returned to Sweden after only a year. The rest of the family stayed until Forsberg was 12, at which point they moved to South Africa for eight years before Forsberg moved back to Sweden.[1]
In 1996, she was signed by Guy Oseary to Maverick Records.[2] Her first album for Maverick, Been There, was the subject of "intense advance buzz."[3] Been There featured lyrics written by Forsberg's older sister, Kajsa Ribbing.[4]
In addition to her own music, she has released two albums dedicated to international artists, with Swedish versions of songs from Bob Dylan (2007) and Leonard Cohen (2009).[5] The translations were by Mikael Wiehe.
She had her acting career in lead role in the television series Anderssons älskarinna.[6]
Ebba Forsberg is the daughter of Lars Lennart Forsberg. She is married to Thomas Knigge with whom she has a child and two step-children. She also has a daughter (b. 1989) from an earlier marriage.[7] She and her husband run the Eboth record label.
