Mini bio
How it started.
Björk began recording in Reykjavík at eleven, releasing an album of children’s songs and pop covers. As a teenager she explored punk and jazz fusion, then sang with Tappi Tíkarrass and KUKL before the Sugarcubes formed in 1986.
Finding her own sound.
International success with the Sugarcubes led to a move to London after the band ended. Debut, co-produced with Nellee Hooper, arrived in 1993, drawing together electronic pop, house, jazz and trip-hop. Homogenic followed in 1997, pairing electronic beats with strings and songs connected to Iceland.
Beyond the album.
Biophilia connected music, nature and technology through an album, interactive apps and educational workshops. Her film work includes acting and music for Dancer in the Dark. More recently, Cornucopia has carried her songs into concert film, while Echolalia has brought them into museum installations.
