To begin with, the girl was raised in both Sweden and USA, but there is no information about her education. At the age of 18, she moved to New York and stayed there for three years working as a bartender, before returning to Sweden to pursue a career as a singer. Mapei says she was influenced by the artists, among others – Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Donna Summer.
Concerning her professional career, Mapei released her EP “The Cocoa Butter Diaries” in 2009 under the label of Downtown Records, debuting in the entertainment industry as a rapper. More, she recorded her debut album, yet decided not to release it, as Mapei understood that rap was not her forte, and wanted to try other genres such as soul and indie pop. Subsequently, her single “Don’t Wait” was released in 2013, which became popular immediately, topping the Hype Machine chart and going viral, plus reaching 43rd position on the Belgian singles chart, 27th on Billboard Club as well as 88th position on the Netherlands singles chart, and being praised by critics and then followed by a music video directed by Dori Oskowitz. A number of well-known DJs created remixes for the above mentioned song, and thanks to the popularity of the song, Mapei became popular and appeared in a number of television shows including “The Late Show With David Letterman”; her net worth was certainly now well established.
Afterwards, several other singles were released including “Change” and “Believe”, both in 2014. However, they could not repeat the success of her previously released single. The music video for the song “Change” was directed by Philippe Grenade and Jarret Egan. All the above mentioned singles were indcluded into her first studio album entitled “Hey Hey”, which was released in 2014, and which reached 35th position on the Swedish album chart as well as 29th on Billboard Heat. To conclude, all the above mentioned engagements have increased the net worth of Mapei.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer, there aren’t even any rumours of romantic associations, and Mapei has confirmed that she is still single, stating that “music is her love’ at the moment.
