Eivør, born in the Faroe Islands in 1983, is a singer, instrumentalist, and composer with a voice of rare beauty and power.
From the age of fifteen, she decided to dedicate herself entirely to music, and her roots in these remote and stunningly beautiful islands have been the source of her musical inspiration ever since.
While this powerful love for Faroese culture remains at the heart of her work, it has expanded through contact with other North Atlantic traditions – she spent some time in Iceland and was named Icelandic Female Singer of the Year in 2003.
She is equally comfortable as a solo vocalist, accompanying herself, as she is with her own band, performing a mix of traditional songs and her own compositions, or collaborating with musicians from diverse backgrounds.
Most of her songs are in Faroese, some in Icelandic, and her most recent ones in English.
Her music spans a wide musical and emotional spectrum, with themes such as love, loss, memory, freedom, and nature.
She possesses a voice of extraordinary beauty and character, unique in its intimacy, effortless virtuosity, and palette of colours, which has been evident from her first recording at the age of 16 to her most recent.
At the same time, she is a captivating stage performer, with a lively and warm presence.
She has been described as "a pure Viking goddess," as having "an extraordinary presence," and as producing "achingly beautiful" music.
Now at the peak of her form, she is a globally acclaimed singer and songwriter, while (fortunately) remaining true to the deep, proud, and subtle culture of the Faroe Islands.
