My Lisa Karolina Nilsson (born 13 August 1970) is a Swedish singer.

She was discovered by the producer William (Billy) Butt and she is perhaps best known in Sweden for her 1992 hit,

Melodifestivalen 1989
.

Nilsson's style ranges from out and out pop music to soul-inflected ballads and dance tracks on her earlier albums to a more mature jazz feel in her more recent work, perhaps reflecting familial connections as her father Gösta Nilsson is a jazz pianist.

In 2002, she moved into acting with appearances in the Swedish TV sitcom, Cleo and a role in the Swedish film Paradiset made by British-born director Colin Nutley.

In February 2007 she gave birth to a daughter.
