Önnu Jónu Son
Music
I started writing songs in my teens but I was too shy to record, let alone release, them. 30 years later I finally had the courage and released my first album, The Radio Won’t Let Me Sleep.
The songs are about love and loss, gratitude and anger. Hope and fear. It was featured on NPR, Happy Mag, and more.
I worked with directors from all over the world to create videos for each of the songs. You can see them on a website we made for the visual album. The videos won some awards and the site even won some too!

With KK and Ólöf Arnalds
When I was 15 years old I got a CD for Christmas.The artist was Icelandic, Kristján Kristjánsson (KK), and the CD was amazing. I learned how to play guitar because I wanted to play those songs. 20 years later, when me and my wife were about to have our first baby, we listened obsessively to another artist, Ólöf Arnalds, and her album that was in part about her having her first child. By some miracle I recorded a song that I wrote with both of these amazing people.
