Gerd Pettersson

Swedish Christian singer, pianist, keyboardist, accordionist and producer, born November 24, 1952 in Vidsel, Älvsby parish in Norrbotten county, now living in Älvängen, north of Gothenburg. She is also known by the previous names Gerd Pettersson, Gerd Pettersson-Ebegård and Gerd Ebegård. She grew up in a Christian home. Her musical talent was discovered early on. She had absolute hearing, which among other things meant that even as a child after listening to records she could sit at the piano and play the songs she had heard. At the age of seventeen, she became a singer-evangelist in Malmberget. In 2008, she graduated as a cantor from Hjo Folk High School and then worked as a cantor within the Church of Sweden in Jönköping, where she was responsible for the church's music school and led several choirs. In 2014, she became a church musician in Norrahammar's parish outside Jönköping, where she led some of the parish's choirs such as Norrahammar Gospel Choir, the children's choir Soul Children and the youth choir Soul Teens, after which she became cantor in Mullsjö - Sandhem's parish. She has released a number of praise song records and instrumental records and participated in the TV series Do you remember the song.
