ABBA’s Björn: ‘Music helped me overcome my shyness’

ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus has told Radio 5 Live that singing and playing music “helped him overcome his shyness� when he was younger. Speaking to 5 Live’s Tony Livesey he said:

“You will find a lot of musicians are shy in themselves but to express themselves through music makes them take on the world in a different way.�

He also says it’s been “very rewarding� to write songs for ABBA again, with the new material set for release later this year.

Björn is also backing ‘Bring the Noise’, a Âé¶¹Éç campaign that aims to help primary school teachers and parents inspire children to become future musicians and see the joys of making music.
