Bláskjár is a singer/songwriter, and focuses on playing humble and lyrical music, straight from the heart. Bláskjár´s music has many elements, such as classical and theatrical influences, so the music is both theatrical and picturesque. Bláskjár loves the nature and uses soundscapes to enrich her songs. Bláskjár´s newest single, Silkirein, sets the tone for her upcoming EP, which will be released this fall, where she mixes together, natural soundscapes, electronica and acoustic tones bringing everything together in a magical mixture of acoustic/electronic folk music. Bláskjár recently joined forces with a group of talented musicians and together they form Bláskjár and band. Bláskjár released her first single in January 2015 and will release an EP this fall.
