Emilíana Torrini - ICELAND (Kópavogur)

Tuesday, March 22, 2011  Aga  1 comment






You may know Emilíana Torrini thanks to her "Gollum's Song" from "The Lord Of The Rings" soundtrack, or one of her most popular hit "Jungle Drum"; or perhaps you have watched wonderful scenic documentary movie about music in Iceland & Greenland "Music From The Moon", and you were charmed by woman with lovely accent and stunned by her ethereal vocal and then you found out that this is the same person who made songs, which I mentioned at the beginning... ( yes, I had to smuggle my own story ;-) ) Regardless where you discovered her, the most important thing is that you did; and now you can verify how much you know about her. But if you are discovering her right now, I'm even more honored to introduce her lovable music...
'An Icelandic singer/songwriter whose music embraces elements of folk, electronica, pop/rock, and trip-hop, Emiliana Torrini has earned favorable comparisons to such vocally gifted artists as Beth Hirsch, Kirsty Hawkshaw, and Björk.'

Emilíana Torrini 



Emilíana Torrini  



1994–present


  

 Folk Rock / Indie



Kópavogur



EMI, Rough Trade Records 




Torrini grew up in Kópavogur, where, at the age of 7, she joined a choir as a soprano, until she went to opera school at the age of 15. In 1994, she became well-known in Iceland after winning the song competition of junior colleges in Iceland (Icelandic: Söngkeppni framhaldsskólanna), at the age of 17, singing "I Will Survive".

Her father is Italian and her mother is Icelandic. Because of name regulations in Iceland at the time, her father Salvatore Torrini had to change his name to "Davíð Eiríksson", which also implied that Emilíana Torrini had to use the surname after her father in the traditional way; "Emilíana Torrini Davíðsdóttir". A few years later, the name regulations were changed,[1] and she was again allowed to use her original surname.[2][3]

She grew up with her parents in Iceland. Her father owns and operates a well-known Italian restaurant in Iceland (Italia, located at Laugavegur 11 in Reykjavik) where she once worked as a waitress. After playing a session of gigs in London, Torrini decided to stay and live there. She has one child, a son, who was born September 6, 2010.
