Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson, known mononymously as Ásgeir, is a prolific Icelandic singer-songwriter and musician who has captivated audiences both in his homeland and internationally with his distinctive blend of folk, electronic, and indie pop sounds. Born on July 1, 1992, in the small town of Laugarbakki, Ásgeir soared to prominence in Iceland with his debut album, "Dýrð í dauðaþögn," in 2012, which became a critically acclaimed work and featured lyrics written by his father. His music soon found a global audience, especially after the release of the English-language version of his debut album, "In the Silence," in 2013.

Ásgeir's ethereal voice and introspective songwriting continue to evolve and enchant, as evident in his recent releases. With songs like "Part of Me" and "Time On My Hands," he weaves intricate harmonies with a sense of introspection and emotional depth. His capacity to reimagine his work is showcased in tracks like "Time On My Hands (Lo-Fi Version)" and "Snowblind (Lo-Fi Version)," which present a more intimate and stripped-down interpretation of his music. Always exploring new soundscapes, Ásgeir's collaboration with Superorganism on the "Vibrating Walls (Superorganism Remix)" adds a new, unexpected texture to his evolving discography. With each release, Ásgeir upholds his reputation as a poignant storyteller and an innovative artist who continuously redefines the boundaries of his craft.
