| We're big fans of her music, and we love interviews with her. She's a true artist. Although Bjork is not the world's most beautiful woman, she is one of the best singers around, and she always impresses us with her creative eccentricity. |

| The most popular musician to come out of Iceland, Bjork's career has soared from her Kukl and The Sugarcubes days, to become a tremendously successful solo artist who has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. |

Bjork Gudmundsdottir was born November 21, 1965, in Reykjavik, Iceland. The road to becoming Iceland's most well-known musician does not come without hard work. Young Bjork started her musical training by studying the flute, piano and voice. She was no stranger to rock music; her stepfather was also a member of a rock band in Iceland.
Before becoming a solo act -- a phenomenally successful solo act, one might add -- Bjork was the vocalist for several bands throughout her career. In 1977, Bjork recorded her first album. Her self-titled debut included a tribute to Iceland's greatest landscape artist, Johannes S. Kjarval. Two years later, the eccentric 13 year old became a member of two other bands: an all-girl punk rock band called Spit and Snot, and Exodus. Exodus actually made an appearance on Icelandic television. Bitio fast I vitio, Exodus's first album, was released in 1981.
Bjork next formed a new group called Kukl (Icelandic for "witch"). She put all her creative energy in the new band, and together they released two albums. Kukl went on a European tour before calling it quits in 1986.
While 1986 marked the end for Kukl, it marked a new beginning for Bjork and her husband, guitarist Thor Eldon, who saw the birth of their son Sindri that same year. 1986 also saw the birth of The Sugarcubes, a new band formed by Bjork, her husband and several Kukl members. |
