Hailing from the coastal town Seltjarnarnes, this Icelandic singer and songwriter grew up in a music-loving environment. He spent many an evening with family and friends, singing songs around the piano. This cosy familial warmth contributed to the development of his passion for heartfelt storytelling and acoustic melodies, creating a truly authentic folk-pop sound. Drawing inspiration from artists like Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan, he debuted with “Hush My Darling” in 2024.
Narrating the story of a group of friends who escape the day-to-day rat race and exchange it for an adventure, his new single was actually based on his own experiences. Creating a dreamy soundscape by fusing soft retro rock and airy pop sensibilities, the song starts with a welcoming acoustic guitar. While the melody progresses, some silken strings join the orchestration. And with intoxicating harmonies and his emotive vocals, this smooth tune allows the listener to just float away.
