Biography
editBorn and raised in the Grafarvogur district of the Icelandic capital Reykjavík, Gugusar performed live for the first time under her stage name in 2019 at the music competition Músiktilraunir, where she won first prize in the electronic music category with the song "Marthröð".[1]
After signing with Sony Music Iceland, she released her debut studio album, Listen to This Twice, in February 2020, which is primarily sung in English.[2]
Gugusar's second studio album, 12:48, was released in November 2022 and peaked at number 18 on the Icelandic Album Chart, giving her her first national chart spot.[3][4] Recorded mostly in Icelandic, the album was promoted at the Iceland Airwaves festival, where she performed as a headliner.[5]
