Her musical style is a mix of jazz, cabaret and blues. In high school she was in a metal band called Nobody and later on also called LiviaGray
Her first record Late Night Heartbroken Blues was recorded and released late 2006 and spawned the singles Oh Boy and High On You. The sophomore album God Put A Rainbow In the Sky was released just months later in May 2007, the lead single from the album was the song I'm Sorry, He's Mine - a song about how she stole her best friend's boyfriend just because she wanted him over the night.
She continued to release new albums in record speed when her new album Songs of A Rag Doll was released October 19th 2007 and she had now released three albums within a year. She told Swedish Groove magazine that vacation for her meant going into the studio. The album came with the single Gotta Leave My Troubles Behind which had some success on the Swedish "tracks" charts where the people of Sweden vote for their favorite songs each week.
In 2007 she was also featured on the famous Swedish artist Lars Winnerbäcks lead single Om Du Lämnade Mig Nu from his album Daugava. The single became a huge hit and was #1 on the track charts as well as the singles charts and lead to national recognition for Miss Li. In 2008 she released the compilation album Best of 061122-071122 which included her best songs from the past three albums and some unreleased material including the song Good Morning.
In the summer of 2008 she sang the song Oh Boy on the popular Sing-A-Long show Allsång På Skansen that has over a million viewers every week. This lead to the single becoming far more popular than it was at its first release and it went to #8 on the Swedish singles charts.
After an uncharacteristically lengthy break, she released her 4th album Dancing the Whole Way Home in March 2009.

Miss Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there was this boy in my bed
he said
he liked the curls in my hair
he
wanted me on top of him
and we
and though
im just a sweet young girl
you made me
feel like a full blooded woman
and you
played the guitar for me and said
"oh sugar
want you sing a song for me?"
but i, see
i didn't dare cause with you
i
tremble like a leaf near you
and you
you kissed my lips and said
"okey
maybe another day"
you see, i'll never forget
us drinking whisky 'til the morning
we were, we were
talking bout love
we were talking about drugs and rock'n'roll
and i
i liked the way you pressed the button
i, oh
i like your your lips
you
oh you, you can drive me wild like a cat
you
you look so hot in your hat
but if i would have known
that it was the last time we met
if i would have known
that it was the last time for me to get wet
i
would have touched your long dark hair
and i
would have kissed your lips
i
i would have tied you to the bed
just to have you
just for my self
but you see i, i ruined it all
as i called you one night a while ago
i was to drunk to talk
i was trying to explain my love
but i
i guess you didnt feel the same way
and i
i guess that i scared you away
and i
i guess we'll never speak again
and i am on my own again
In Miss Li's song A Song About Me And a Boy, she discusses a time in her life when she was with a boy and the passionate experiences they shared. The song opens with the boy telling her that he likes the curls in her hair, leading to physical intimacy between them. Despite being a sweet, young girl, the boy makes her feel like a full-blooded woman. He even played the guitar for her and asked her to sing a song, but she was too nervous to perform in front of him.
Miss Li reminisces on the time she spent drinking whisky and talking about love, drugs, and rock 'n' roll until the morning. She was captivated by the boy's presence, from the way he pressed buttons to how he looked in his hat. However, she regrets not touching his long dark hair, kissing his lips more, and tying him to the bed to have him for her own.
The song takes a turn when Miss Li recalls a time when she called the boy while drunk and tried to explain her love. Unfortunately, the boy did not feel the same way, and she scared him away. She laments the fact that they will likely never speak again, and she is on her own once again. Overall, the song touches on themes of love, lust, regret, and missed opportunities.
