EVA HILLERED is a Swedish recording and touring singer-songwriter. Eva’s unique voice boasts a deep soulfulness coming from the need of expressing herself in songwriting from a very early age.

Eva’s second CD ”Stråets längd” was produced by Jonas Isacsson, guitarr player in the world famous band Roxette (Record Station 1990). Like the first one, it received a lot of airplay on Scandinavian radio.
