Bjork is an Icelandic musician and producer. She first rose to fame as the lead singer of the band Sugarcubes. She started her solo career in the early ’90s with her electronic dance music and jazz album, “Debut”. Today, that album is considered to be one of the pioneers in the genre.
She was born Bjork Guomundsdottir on November 21, 1965, in Reykjavik, Iceland, to her activist mother Hildur Runa Kauksdottir, and union leader and electrician father Guðmundur Gunnarsson.
Is Bjork A Vegan?
No, she isn’t, and partly because of her Icelandic nationality. Bjork said “I remember going as a 16-year-old to England and everyone was vegetarian because of their principles and we just didn’t get that here,” she explains “We can’t grow vegetables so well, so it’s a different context, you know? We’re functional about things.”
She is known for representing Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song “Je ne sais quoi” and her participation at Viña del Mar International Song Festival 2013, in Chile.
