Magni

Magni (full name Magni Ásgeirsson) is an Icelandic singer-songwriter known for his heartfelt indie-pop tunes and knack for blending quirky humor with emotional depth. A familiar face in Iceland's music scene, he first gained attention as part of the band Í Svörtum Fötum before launching his solo career. His music often mixes playful lyrics with nostalgic synth sounds and guitar-driven melodies, earning him a reputation as a relatable storyteller who isn’t afraid to get weird (or wonderfully specific – see tracks like "Ég vil vera kisinn þinn" / "I Want to Be Your Cat").

Magni’s recent releases, including the wistful "Árið 2001" ("The Year 2001") and the infectiously earnest "Ég myndi aldrei setja þig í annað sæti" ("I’d Never Put You in Second Place"), showcase his signature mix of humor and sincerity. He’s also embraced live recordings and collaborations, like his "Styrktartónleikar" charity concerts and work with the South Lane Basement Band. Beyond music, Magni’s become a cultural personality in Iceland, dabbling in TV appearances and keeping fans smiling with his offbeat charm.
