Reykjavík, Iceland (1979 – present)
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.

@ tyrique: There's nothing wrong with quiet and calm, but knowing from my experience it's easier to start listening to some artist by listening to dynamic songs, thou calm music may not suit everyone. It also depends on the artist's music. I think Bjork's Vespertine is really hard to listen for the first time, at last it was for me... ;)
