Biography

Bjork was born and brought up in Reykjavik, Iceland. In childhood she attended a musical school, where one of her teachers sent her cover for Tina Charles' I Love To Love to the only Icelandic radio RUV. At the age of 11, the girl became the national star after recording her album Bjork in 1977. Being a teenager, Bjork got involved with punk rock and made her own all-girl punk command Spit And Snot. However, soon she got her interest on jazz and made a band Exodus in 1979. In 1981, along with bassist Jacob Magnusson she founded the Tappi Tikarrass collective. This band was changed for the Goth rock group KUKL, which managed to record two albums - The Eye (1984) and Holydays In Europe (1986) – before it was reformed into The Sugarcubes. In 1988, the band released their debut album Life's Too Good, which became an international smash hit. It did not stop the band from splitting due to interior tension in 1992. Bjork moved to London to start a solo career.
