about
Björk Guðmundsdóttir (born 21 November 1965), known mononymously as Björk, is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. Recognised for her distinctive voice, three-octave vocal range, and unconventional public image, she has developed an eclectic musical style over a career spanning five decades, incorporating elements of electronic, pop, dance, trip hop, jazz, and avant-garde music. She is widely regarded as an influential figure in electronic and experimental music. Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes in the late 1980s. After the band disbanded in 1992, she established herself as a solo artist with the albums "Debut" (1993), "Post" (1995), and "Homogenic" (1997), which combined electronic and avant-garde influences and received critical acclaim. Her subsequent releases continued to explore new musical directions, including the glitch-influenced "Vespertine" (2001), the largely a cappella "Medúlla" (2004), the pop-oriented "Volta" (2007), and "Biophilia" (2011), which was accompanied by an interactive iPad application. Following the death of her longtime collaborator Mark Bell, she worked with the Venezuelan producer Arca on "Vulnicura" (2015) and "Utopia" (2017). Her album "Fossora" (2022) marked her first project on which she was credited as sole producer. Björk has sold more than 40 million records wor
