Bjork Guðmundsdóttir is a singer/songwriter with a great expressive range & an interest in many kinds of music including popular, hip-hop, alternative-rock, torch songs, folk & classical. Björks musical career began at the age of eleven, when she began studying classical piano in elementary school. One of her instructors submitted a recording of Björk singing Tina Charles song I Love to Love to Radio One, an Iceland radio station. The recording was aired nationally; upon hearing it, a representative of the record label Fálkinn contacted Björk with a record contract offer. With the help of her stepfather, who played guitar, she recorded her first album, eponymously entitled Björk, in 1977, which featured several Icelandic childrens songs & covers of popular songs such as the Beatles Fool on the Hill, sung in Icelandic. The album became a smash hit in Iceland, though it was virtually unknown elsewhere. Punk music began to have an influence on Björk; at the age of fourteen, she formed the all-girl punk band Spit & Snot, shortly followed by a jazz fusion group called Exodus in 1979.

Anything Bjork has to say is well worth listening to - TOTALLY UNIQUE in every way! This time about Vespertine & the world tour, with comments from all her colleagues on how it all came about & went - Im sorry I missed the show !
