I'm an Icelandic Composer, Producer & Engineer with credits in projects such as: "God Of War: Ragnarök", "How It Ends" & "FBI: International". Above all, I love melodies and writing rememberable tunes, and as an experienced producer with millions of streams to my name, I love diving into electronic elements to compliment my orchestral writing.
I compose music for any project that needs music. It can range from films, video games, podcasts, ads, etc.
To break down my area of expertise I'd say I have three:
- Melodic orchestral music, commonly mixed with pop instruments.
- Epic hybrid music with electronic elements mainly from Trap & EDM as I'm an experienced music producer.
- Intimate "Icelandic" piano music for smaller ensembles & solo instruments.
If you want your project to come to life with original music and you're passionate about your work, then let's have a chat - I'd love to work with you!

A: I write, produce and deliver original music for projects that needs it. Doesn't matter if it's a Film, Video Game, Commercial, Theater, Podcast or just for your own entertainment. I'm trained to write music for all emotions and moods, no matter what the media outlet is.
