GUNVOR owes her first name to her grandfather, who moved with his family from Sweden to Berne. No, she did not come to the earth with a microphone in 1974, but the love of music was put into her cradle.
At the age of 13 she found her passion and a new challenge: TAP DANCE. While schoolmates met outside in the summer, GUNVOR practiced “Shufflesteps” for the next choreography. At the age of 16, she became Swiss champion in the field of solo and formation. Dave Brubeck, George Gershwin and Frank Sinatra songs accompanied her through her youth. She was inspired by the dancers: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers.
From 1990 – 1994 GUNVOR was 7 times Swiss champion in tap dancing (solo, duo and formation) and she was 5th in duo at the world championship in 1994. In 1997 GUNVOR won DAS GOLDENE MIKROFON and DEN GOLDENEN SCHEINWERFER from Radio DRS. At the end of 1997 GUNVOR won the Swiss preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 1998 she represented Switzerland at the ESC in Birmingham/GB with her own composition “Lass ihn”.
In 2003/2004 GUNVOR played “Crissy” in the musical HAIR at the Musical Theater Basel, BEAbern expo and the Maag Music Hall.
In 2013 GUNVOR and her husband Roland founded the company RMGM and later the music publisher: RMGM Roland Meyer for Gunvor Music & Books KLG. The label RMGM produces music and bookings get coordinated.
Gunvor has been working with producer Jens Gad in Hollywood since 2017. Together with Jens Gad, RMGM produced the albums GUNVOR 001 (a tribute to James Bond), the children musical “Der kleine Mats” and the dance album GUNVOR Dance School .
The two artists also offer songwriting for artists or companies.
