I'm super good.
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
I think I can sing almost whatever style of music; I’m powerful but I can also be really sweet. Besides that I am awesome!
Well this has been in the works for quite a while now with the whole team involved. My managers, Steinunn and Soffia discussed this with the writers Alma Goodman and James Wong early 2015, about writing a song with me in mind. Then Jimmy was writing for Justin Bieber's Purpose album and I was writing my debut album "Heim". With our busy schedules we still longed for making that one true Eurovision song and then Alma Goodman and Jimmy got together and wrote "Now" the english part of the album and then me and Alma sat down wrote "Augnablik" the Icelandic version together. The whole birth of the song summarizes all our individual adventures together in being in the now.
The song is about putting the past behind and try to live in the moment and enjoy the passing moment.
Describe the song with 4 words:
Powerful, meaningful, anthemic and legendary.
Backing singers, drummer and a guitarist and one hell of a performance.
Did you watch Eurovision 2015? Who were your favorites?
Yes I did! My favorite was Love injected by Aminata from Latvia.
Everything! There is so much work put in everything, the song, the vocals and just the whole performance. It's amazing!
What do you dislike about Eurovision?
What is there to dislike? If I had to say anything I would say the negative discussions on the internet if someone fails. We are human we all make mistakes!
Snow: Olaf (don't know why, just watched Frozen).
Color: Pink
Mystery: Eurovision
Ísland got talent: Me (omg just telling the truth here)
Fear: Cats
Cat: Fear
Dreams: Singing for the world
I'm trying to enjoy the moment and not think too much ahead of time but I’m in the Icelandic academy of the Arts and I’m gonna write some songs and keep on performing and singing.
Is there anything you want to say to close the interview?
Just remember: We got now until forever! <3
