Björk performing in 2008

Björk Guðmundsdóttir OTF (/bjɜːrk/ BYURK, Icelandic: [pjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr̥] ; born 21 November 1965) is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. She is known for her unique vocal delivery and range, avant-garde visual expression and fasion, and sonically diverse style across a nearly half-century long career, with musical influences including the electronic, pop, experimental, trip hop, classical, and avant-garde genres.

After growing up and first starting her musical career in the largest Icelandic city of Reykjavík, Björk would first see stardom as a member of the Sugarcubes, a rock band that would achieve moderate commercial success overseas. After the band's dissolution near the end of 1992, Björk would embark on a solo career, releasing her first studio album Debut (1994) with varying usage of non-rock genres. Her sophomore album Post (1995) would project her into new commercial heights, as well as set the stage for the more experimental style heard in the critically acclaimed albums Homogenic (1997) and Vespertine (2001).

Near the peak of her musical experimentation was the almost entirely a cappella album Medúlla (2004), after which she would release the commercially successful and world music-influenced album Volta (2007) and the the multimedia-experimenting Biophilia (2011). Her next albums, Vulnicura (2015), Utopia (2017), and Fossora (2022) were additionally praised primarily for their lyrical content.

Selling over 15 million albums worldwide, Björk is one of the most influential figures in Icelandic history, and has become known for her internationally successful singles "Venus as a Boy", "Play Dead", "Army of Me", "Hyperballad", and her cover of "It's Oh So Quiet". Her music videos have additionally received acclaim for their common incorporation of surrealism.
