Home alone and your bored. What do you do? Surf Pinterest until i find something interesting to do. Good recipes or cool DIY’s. If I can’t find anything i just dance.
What is the strangest thing you have in your room? I have so many weird things in my room. I guess the weirdest one is a old fridge that i use as a closet! You should see it!

What are you really bad at? Saying the right thing at the right time!
Childhood idol: I’m pretty sure that Beyoncé borderline raised me. She is still my idol!
Childhood memory: A bad one or a good one? Because this is a Eurovision site I’m gonna say dancing to Viva la Diva by Dana International. My word that was a good song.
What would you do if you were invisible? Proabably play pranks on people and freak them out. All.the.time.

When did you start singing? Before i could talk! Haven’t stopped since!
Can you teach me some interesting words in Icelandic? Well we have a lot of beautiful words but the one that has most often been voted the most beautiful is ,,Ljósmóðir’’. It means midwife, which is the person who delivers babies. In Icelandic it literally translates to mother of light.
If you were the journalist what would you ask Ásdís María? and tell me your answer.
Do you play any instruments? Yes! The cello, guitar, ukulele, piano and then i can manage on a couple more!
Hello Ásdís, Söngvakeppnin is starting on saturday, how do you feel right now?
I’m so excited i could die! I can’t wait!
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
Different I guess. And i always try to be very genuine when I’m singing. And hopefully I’m fun!
You are one of the 10 finalists of Söngvakeppnin 2014, how did it all begin?
With a Facebook message. So romantic. Just kidding!
The title of your song is "Amor", whats the story behind the song? what did you think the 1st time you heard it?
The song is about love! The rest remains to be seen. Sort of.But the first time i heard it i thought it was different and that’s why i liked it!
Describe the song with 4 words:
Raw, dark, interesting and emotional.
Lets talk about the performance, what can we expect to see on stage?
I like to dress completely different when I’m on stage. It’s a performance so you have to go out of your comfort zone. We’re talking fringe, headchains, crazy makeup and feathers.
What do you like about Eurovision?
As an artist i like how it presents musicians to the world and helps them get noticed. I also like that it binds homes and even countries together and it’s always just been about that right? Bringing all of us together through music?
Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word:
2013: Old news.
Wind: Wind machines=Mariah Carey
Fear: War.
Music: Dancing
Iceland: Nature
Stage: Performance
Watermelon: The lyrics ,,I’ve been drinking watermelon’’ from Drunk In Love by Beyoncé.
Dreams: Hard work but worth it.
What are your plans for 2014?
Being happy. Singing. And get a driver’s license.
Thanks to Ásdís for the interview! I love her song so if you are in Iceland dont forget to vote for her on Saturday! Good luck Ásdís!
