Björk Guðmundsdóttir (born 21 November 1965) is an avant-pop singer-songwriter, composer, music producer, and occasional actress, whose work includes six solo albums and two film soundtracks.
She is best known for her expressive vocals, broad soprano vocal range, and a diverse and electronic musical style which incorporates influences from many different genres, including pop, alternative rock, jazz, ambient, electronic, classical, folk and trip hop. She is also known for her eccentric costumes and music videos. Her singles “It’s Oh So Quiet”, “
Army Of Me” and “Hyperballad” all charted in the UK Top 10.
Her record label, One Little Indian, reported in 2003 that she had sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. She has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards (including one for acting). For her performance in Dancer in the Dark, Björk won the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. She was ranked #36 on VH1’s “The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll” and #8 on MTV’s “22 Greatest Voices in Music”. Her most recent album, Volta, was released worldwide on 8 May 2007.
Björk was born and raised in Reykjavík, Iceland. Her musical career began when she was eleven with her study of classical piano in elementary school. One of her instructors sent a recording of Björk singing Tina Charles’ song “I Love to Love” to RÚV, then the only radio station in Iceland. The recording was broadcast on radio nationally; after hearing it, a representative of the record label Fálkinn contacted Björk to offer a record contract. An album, Björk, was recorded and released in 1977.

Björk has contributed a new track to the forthcoming Moomins movie. The singer's piece is called 'The Comet Song' and will soundtrack Moomins and The Comet Chase, which is currently in production by Finnish film company Filmkompaniet, Angry Ape reports. Björk has previously declared herself a long-time admirer of the Moomins franchise and has apparently been photographed wearing clothes featuring characters from the series on several occasions. The movie adaption of the '80s cartoon is expected to be released in autumn 2010.
