Björk Gumundsdóttir OTF born November 21, 1965 is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. She is known for her remarkable three-octave vocal range and eccentric attitude, and she has established an eclectic musical style that draws on electronic, pop, experimental, trip-hop, classical, and avant-garde music across her four-decade career.

Gumundur Gunnarsson, a union leader, and electrician is her father. When Björk was born, her parents split, and she moved to a commune with her mother.  Her stepfather is Saevar Árnason, a former Pops guitarist.

Björk enrolled in Reykjavik’s Barnamskskóli at the age of six, where she learned classical piano and flute. Following a school presentation in which Björk sang Tina Charles’s 1976 hit “I Love to Love,” her teachers sent a recording of her singing the song to Iceland’s lone radio station, RV.
