Their journey began in early 2015 when Sjowgren uploaded a collection of self-recorded, guitar-based songs that were subsequently released as the Demos EP in June of that year. Shortly after, they unveiled their summery single "Seventeen," featuring a fully-realized band arrangement. The song gained significant attention after being featured in a commercial for an online marketplace in early 2016. "Seventeen" garnered millions of streams and attracted the interest of New York City label 300 Entertainment, distributed by Atlantic Records. The label officially released the track for digital download in mid-2016.
Sjowgren continued their musical endeavors with the single "Now & Then," which achieved success on streaming charts in early 2017. In 2018, the band returned with two stand-alone tracks, "Beginners" and "Better Off." They resurfaced in 2020, independently releasing the EP win'20.
Although Sjowgren's name may evoke a Scandinavian influence and their sound could be reminiscent of Nordic pop, the trio's indie pop style incorporates a retro-soul edge, primarily characterized by the unaffected alto vocals of their lead vocalist.
As a musical project, Sjowgren places a greater emphasis on creativity rather than pursuing widespread fame. They release their content through their own label, Long Time Friend Discount, and prefer to remain primarily behind the scenes, focusing on songwriting, production, and artistic direction.

sjowgren Lyrics
Dreams I have always been a kinda quiet one I don't call…
Flip Phones I been losing my opinions in a vanity sweat No cursive…
Snow White Last summer was fine Looking at god With open eyes Now I am…
What Goes Around I don't want you to worry It wasn't supposed to be…
