The 22-year-old Stockholm native's lush vocals and almost painfully expressive lyrics—not to mention incredibly chic Nordic style—make her poised to become the next big thing in indie music. That's why we asked her to document the day of her set at the Voodoo Festival at City Park in New Orleans, La., this weekend, where she performed along with The Weeknd, Arcade Fire, and The Chainsmokers. Scroll through below to see photos of her set list, soundcheck, and the surprise fan gift she received at the end. Get used to this face, people. You're going to see a lot more of it. 01 of 08 CRUISING Courtesy of LÉON "En route to the festival." 02 of 08 WHAT'S TO COME Courtesy of LÉON "It's always hard to put together the set list for my show, especially when I perform songs that people haven't heard yet.

I was playing on the South Course stage, and I was literally the first act performing that day." 07 of 08 CHART-TOPPER Courtesy of LÉON "It was so fun singing my latest song that I just put out, 'Think About You.'" 08 of 08 SURPRISE GIFTS Courtesy of LÉON "Hanging backstage after my show.
