Biography

Linn Joanna Elsa Ahlborg, born Andersson on September 4, 1999, in the Maria parish of Gävle, is a Swedish blogger and YouTuber. She grew up in Gävle with her parents and an older brother and was active in floorball during her childhood. At the age of ten, she began blogging, but it was through her YouTube channel that she gained wider recognition. The channel was created in December 2011, but it wasn't until 2014 that it attracted more attention. Ahlborg mixed beauty and makeup tips with humorous clips. In 2014, she was nominated for "Breakthrough of the Year" at Guldtuben and won the category "Lifestyle Channel of the Year" at the same event. In 2017, Ahlborg saw a significant increase in her following, winning "Rocket of the Year" at the Meg Awards. The award was justified by her ranking on the Medieakademin's Power Barometer, where she placed 14th among the most influential figures in Swedish social media. The following year, she dropped three spots in the rankings. After graduating from the economics program at Borgarskolan in Gävle in 2018, she moved to Stockholm.
