With a career spanning over 4 decades, Björk eclipsed the popularity of her former group 'The Sugarcubes' & launched her solo work back in 1992, developing an effortless blend of avant-garde & eclectic musical style. She began her music career at the age of 11 and first gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band 'The Sugarcubes.'

Her teachers had submitted a tape of her singing 'I Love to Love' to Iceland's Radio One, when the song was aired, record label Fakkin offered her a contract. In 2000, Björk appeared in the critically acclaimed film Dancer in the Dark. She won the prize for best actress at the Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.
