Björk first came to prominence as one of the lead
vocalists of the avant-pop Icelandic sextet the
Sugarcubes, but when she launched a solo career
after the group's 1992 demise, she quickly eclipsed
her old band's popularity. Instead of following in
the Sugarcubes' arty guitar rock pretensions, Björk
immersed herself in dance and club culture, working
with many of the biggest names in the genre,
including Nellee Hooper, Underworld, and Tricky.
Debut, her first solo effort (except for an
Icelandic-only smash released when she was just 11
years old), not only established her new artistic
direction, but it became an international hit,
making her one of the '90s most unlikely stars.

Though the title of Debut implied that it was
Björk's first-ever solo project, she had actually
been a professional vocalist since she was a child.
When she was in elementary school in Reykjavik, she
studied classical piano and, eventually, her
teachers submitted a tape of her singing Tina
Charles' "I Love to Love" to Iceland's Radio One.
After "I Love to Love" was aired, a record label
called Falkkin offered Björk a record contract. At
the age of 11, her eponymous first album was
released; the record contained covers of several
pop songs, including the Beatles' "Fool on the
Hill," and boasted artwork from her mother and
guitar work from her stepfather. Björk became a hit
within Iceland and was not released in any other
country.

Björk's musical tastes were changed by the punk
revolution of the late '70s; in 1979, she formed a
post-punk group called Exodus and, in the following
year, she sang in Jam 80. In 1981, Björk and Exodus
bassist Jakob Magnusson formed Tappi Tikarrass,
which released an EP, Bitid Fast I Vitid, on Spor
later that year; it was followed by the full-length
Miranda in 1983. Following Tappi Tikarrass, she
formed the goth-tinged post-punk group KUKL with
Einar Orn Benediktsson. KUKL released two albums,
The Eye (1984) and Holidays in Europe (1986), on
Crass Records before the band metamorphosed into
the Sugarcubes in the summer of 1986.

The Sugarcubes became one of the rare Icelandic
bands to break out of their native country when
their debut album, Life's Too Good, became a
British and American hit in 1988. For the next four
years, the group maintained a successful cult
following in the U.K. and the U.S. while they were
stars within Iceland. During 1990, Björk recorded a
set of jazz standards and originals with an
Icelandic bebop group called Trio Gudmundar
Ingolfssonar. The album, Gling-Gl , was released
only in Iceland. By 1992, tensions between Björk
and Einar had grown substantially, which resulted
in the band splitting apart.

Following the breakup of the group, Björk moved to
London, where she began pursuing a dance-oriented
solo career. The previous year, she had sung on 808
State's "Ooops," which sparked her interest in club
and house music. Björk struck up a working
relationship with Nellee Hooper, a producer who had
formerly worked with Soul II Soul and Massive
Attack. The first result of their partnership was
"Human Behaviour," which was released in June of
1993. "Human Behaviour" became a Top 40 hit in the
U.K., setting the stage for the surprising number
three debut of the full-length album, Debut.
Throughout 1993, Björk had hit U.K. singles --
including "Venus as a Boy," "Big Time Sensuality,"
and the non-LP "Play Dead," a collaboration with
David Arnold taken from the film Young Americans --
as well as modern rock radio hits in the U.S., and
in both countries she earned rave reviews. At the
end of the year, NME magazine named Debut the album
of the year, while she won International Female
Solo Artist and Newcomer at the BRIT Awards; Debut
went gold in the U.S. and platinum in the U.K.

During 1994, Björk was relatively quiet as she
recorded her second album with Nellee Hooper,
Tricky, 808 State's Graham Massey, and Howie B of
Mo' Wax Records; she also released a remix EP,
co-wrote the title track for Madonna's Bedtime
Stories, and performed on MTV Unplugged that same
year. "Army of Me," the first single from Björk's
forthcoming album, was released as a teaser single
in the spring of 1995; it debuted at number ten in
the U.K. and became a moderate alternative rock hit
in the U.S. Post, her second album, was released in
June of 1995 to positive reviews; it peaked at
number two in the U.K. and number 32 in the U.S.
Post matched its predecessor in terms of sales and
praise, going gold in the U.S. and helping her earn
her second BRIT Award for Best International Female
Artist. Post yielded the British hit singles
"Isobel" (number 23), "It's Oh So Quiet" (number
four), and "Hyperballad" (number eight), yet her
singles failed to make much headway on American
radio or MTV. Late in 1996, Björk released
Telegram, an album comprised of radical remixes of
the entire Post album, in the U.K.; Telegram was
released in America in January 1997.

Homogenic, her most experimental studio effort to
date, followed later that same year and spawned
many remix releases in the next few years to
follow. In the spring of 2000, she was named Best
Actress by jurors at the Cannes Film Festival for
her work in Lars von Trier's Palme d'Or-winning
Dancer in the Dark. Selmasongs, her score for the
film, reunited Björk with her Homogenic
collaborator Mark Bell and arrived in the fall of
2000, just in time for Dancer in the Dark's U.S.
release. The full-length follow-up, Vespertine, was
released one year later. She released a Greatest
Hits collection and the Family Tree box set late in
2002. After performing a few dates in 2003, Björk
geared up for a busy 2004, which included the
release of her all-vocals and vocal samples-based
album Med lla and a performance of one of its
songs, "Oceania," at the 2004 Summer Olympics in
Athens, Greece. The soundtrack to Drawing Restraint
9, a film by multimedia artist Matthew Barney,
arrived in 2005 and also featured contributions
from Will Oldham. 2007's Volta returned to the more
playful, percussive side of Björk's music and
included collaborations with Timbaland, Toumani
Diabat , Antony Hegarty, and an all-female
Icelandic choir.
