As a child she learned to play the flute and piano, studying vocal. In 1979, in 15 years under the strong influence of creativity Siouxsie and the Banshees, she took her first musical group of post-punk - Tappi Tikarass. In 1982, two songs were included in the collection of radio Icelandic New Wave 'Rock in Reykjavik', and
Bjork was prizanana nabolee promising young talent.
In 1983,
Bjork and other stars of the waves were invited to address a single group at a special radio program. She and several others, including Einar Orn and Sigtryggur Baldursson work well and the fall of that year created a new group - Kukl. By the time the second and last album Tappi Tikarass released late in 1983, a new collective Kukl became the main place of creativity
Bjork. In the next two years of

By the end of the year they decided on the name of the group: Sykurmolarnir, but in English - Sugarcubes (sugar cubes). The success of the Icelandic version of their pevogo dreamy and distinct from other signla Birthday (Birthday) in 1987 led to the signing of the contract with the record company Elektra. The spring of 1988 their debut - the album Life's Too Good (Life is too good) has received rave reviews in America. In addition to the Birthday jangl-and somewhat confusing single Motrocrash also received a good share of the ether. However, the second CD entitled Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week (Here today, tomorrow, next week) was not so highly rated. In 1990,

In 1995,
Bjork continued with melancholic album Post. He did not sell with the same success as Debut despite very enticing video from Busby Berkeley to Blow a Fuse (It's Oh So Quiet) (struck out the fuse (oh, so quiet around)) - extravaganza in the style of big-band-jazz. 1997 began with the release of the album Telegram (Telegram), in which nearly every track from the Post was a remix or overwritten with various accomplices from Dillinja, Deodato to the Brodsky Quartet.
