Björk was conceived on November 21, 1965, in Reykjavk, her hometown. Her mother was the campaigner Hildur Rna Hauksdóttir, who opposed the construction of Iceland’s Kárahnjkar Hydropower Plant (7 October 1946 – 25 October 2018). Gumundur Gunnarsson, a union official, and electrician is her father. When Björk was born, they got divorced, and she relocated to a commune with her mother.
Her stepfather is Saevar reason, a former Pops guitarist. Björk enrolled in Reykjavik’s Barnamskskóli at the age of six, where she studied classical piano and flute. Following a school recital in which Björk sang Tina Charles’s 1976 hit “I Love to Love,” her teachers sent a recording of her singing the song to Iceland’s only radio station, RV.
After hearing the recording, a representative of the Fálkinn record label approached Björk and offered her a recording contract. Björk, her debut album, was released in Iceland in December 1977 when she was 11 years old.
