About Me |
|
Eivør was born in the year of 1983 in a small village called Gøta in the Faroe Islands. She started singing before she could walk, and now - many years later - she is still better at singing than walking. Eivør has released 5 albums with her own music, all of them with different great arists from around the world. Eivør has toured most parts of the world. Solo as well as with great bands like Yggdrasil and Clickhaze. Since 2004 she has mostly played solo or with the Canadian folksinger and legend Bill Bourne (2004-2005). The last two years Eivør has played different venues as well as published a CD with the prestigious Danish Radio Big Band. In 2006 she started working with acknowledged Irish producer Donald Lunny, with whom she co-produced her latest album, "Human Child". Eivør has won different awards in Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Denmark. In 2006 she was nominated in 6 categories at The Danish Music Award for folk music, of which she won two awards - "Best female singer" and "Best folkalbum". She also won the Icelandic "Best theatrical music" award for the music she wrote for Icelandic theatershow "Úlfhamssaga" in 2005. Eivør is often compared to the Faroese landscape. Her voice leads you from the shores, up the mountains and back again. She can sing like a gentle summer breeze and within a split-second her voice can turn into the most powerful thunderstorm. She sings with passion and emotion and every time she sings it's as if it was her first time.
