Nobody would have predicted that some day, Bjork Gudmundsdottir, would become the world’s best known Icelandic musician. But she has. She spent most of her life creating artful and experimental music that defies conventions. After a stint with the band The Sugarcubes, she came to our attention when she released her solo album, Debut, helmed by the acclaimed producer Nellee Hooper. The album established her as a star in America. She has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards. Her most memorable tracks were Possibly Maybe and It's Oh So Quiet. 

She also won critical praise for her performance in the film Dancer in the Dark and went on to win the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. 

Soon after her album Debut was released photographer Ian Davies made contact and this early shot of Bjork was taken.

'Bjork liked to have fun and she gave her all during our photoshoot - I felt she really understood what it meant to have her photographs taken - allowing her to project her vibrant personality and the most unusual and amazingly beautiful face. She made it easy.'
