Jónsi

As a solo artist, Jónsi expands on the emotional intensity and sense of wonder he pioneered with Icelandic post-rock luminaries Sigur Rós. On his 2010 debut, Go, he introduced his adventurous perspective on pop, while his music for films ranging from 2010's How to Train Your Dragon to 2025's Rental Family built on his well-established flair for atmosphere. Comfortable collaborating with artists as diverse as Troye Sivan and Swedish composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jónsi cleverly juxtaposed these artistic extremes on 2020's Shiver. Later in the decade, art installations such as 2021's Obsidian and 2025's Vox reflected his commitment to immersive expression by fusing sound, scent, and light into complete sensory experiences.
