Krister Linder is a Swedish-Congolese musician, singer and film-score composer born in Kinshasa in 1970 and long based in Sweden. He built his reputation across three decades - from fronting the bands Grace and Dive in the late 1980s and early 1990s, through an extensive career in the Stockholm electronic underground, to acclaimed solo work and award-winning film scores. His music for Tarik Saleh's animated feature Metropia won the Jameson Film Music Award at the Stockholm International Film Festival in 2009, and he also scored Saleh's Sundance-winning thriller The Nile Hilton Incident (2017) and Cairo Conspiracy (2022).
Linder returned to the live stage with two sold-out concerts at Stockholm's Södra Teatern in January, his first live performances after a long break.
Linder appeared at the Retroland 2025 festival, documented on Facebook video.
