Snorri Helgason is a singer-songwriter from Reykjavik, Iceland.
With his home grown and self-taught approach to songwriting, Snorri has been favorably compared to singer-songwriter greats like Paul Simon, Harry Nilsson and Neil Young. While his music resonates with past greats, his mixing of diverse influences of everything from soul to Britpop to glam-rock into his primarily folk-based songsnot to mention his Icelandic backgroundleaves us with something entirely unique.
At age 19 years, Snorri decided to devote his life to the only thing that ever truly interested him music. He taught himself to play guitar, sing and write songs. Two years later, he formed a band called Sprengjuhцllin with a few of his childhood friends.
In the bands short lifespan, Sprengjuhцllin managed to release two best-selling albums, perform at countless sold out shows and becoming one of the most popular bands in Iceland.
When Sprengjuhцllin went on hiatus in 2009, Snorri recorded a solo album focusing on the folk and Americana influences at the centre of his musical tastes. The album, Im Gonna Put My Name On Your Door was released in Iceland in November of 2009 and in Europe and the US in December 2010 through Kimi Recordsto the usual critical acclaim.
Since 2009, Snorri has toured excessively, building a diverse and spread-out fan base while honing his craft as a performer and songwriter. Hes played shows in some far corners of the world like Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Faenza,

Winter Sun is Snorri Helgasons sophomore solo album and his most daring work yet. It is produced by indie pop wunderkind Sindri Mбr Sigfъsson (of Sin Fang and Seabear) and presents Snorri not only as a sincere songwriter but also as a musician willing to experiment with his soundscape. A few notable Icelandic musicians lend their talent on Winter Sun, Mr. Silla sings backing vocals, Sуley plays piano and Guрmundur Уskar of Hjaltalнn plays bass.
