# Stiftelsen (band)

Stiftelsen, meaning "the Foundation", is a Swedish pop rock band that features the vocals of Robert Pettersson, the lead singer of the Swedish pop-rock band Takida.

The band is signed to Universal Music Sweden and has a variety of musical influences from dansband and country. They had a hit in Sweden with their single "Vart jag än går" (meaning Wherever I go), released on 30 May 2012.
