Linnea Pihl is a Swedish actress, singer-songwriter and fashion model. She was born and raised in Lund, Skåne län, Sweden. She began acting as a child in school plays, and sang in an internationally competitive choir from age 7 until 17. When she studied at Katedralskolan in Lund, she revived the long since dormant theatre troupe Scenia - founded by Max von Sydow and his friends many years before. She studied comparative literature at Lund University, but left her studies to fully focus on her acting and modelling career. Modelling highlights include spreads for Vogue, Marie-Claire and Cosmopolitan.
