about
Greta Salóme Stefánsdóttir, internationally known as Greta Salóme (born 11 November 1986) is an Icelandic singer and violinist in the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra. She represented Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan in a duet with singer Jón Jósep Snæbjörnsson with the song Never Forget. They qualified from the first semi-final into the Eurovision final and eventually finished in 20th place with 46 points. Her next single, "Everywhere Around Me", was released August 2012. Greta released her first album titled In The Silence on 16 November 2012. The album contains her Eurovision song Never Forget which is in English and also the Icelandic version - Mundu Eftir Mér. In the Icelandic national final of that same year, Greta also collaborated with Heiða & Guðrún Árný Karlsdóttir on the song 'Aldrei Sleppir Mér' which she composed herself. When both entries made the final, Greta had to make a decision with which song she would participate that night. She chose 'Mundu eftir mér' with Jónsi which led them to victory. A solo version of 'Aldrei Sleppir Mér' is featured on Greta's album 'In The Silence'. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
