Singer-songwriter Hafdis Huld was born in Reykjavik, Iceland and now divides her time between the UK and Iceland. From the age of 15 she sang and toured the world with iconic Icelandic collective Gus Gus. When they weren’t touring, Hafdis took time out to star in several Icelandic films. In between writing and performing, her recordings have been used for several TV ad campaigns and she appeared in a viral video campaign for Reyka Vodka. She is also a featured vocalist on Tricky’s 2008 album Knowle West Boy. She has a new single coming out called Kongulo (Icelandic for ‘spider’) which is about Frenchman Alain Robert, who climbs skyscrapers without any supporting equipment.

If I had to choose my all-time favorite song, I think it would be this one. It is just one of these songs I wish I had written every time I hear it. I have many memories of singing along with it in the car in Reykjavik with my mum and my sister.
