Biography

Guðrið Hansdóttir grew up in Argir near Tórshavn, and is the daughter of Louisa and Hans Carl Hansen. Her father is a well-known guitar player in the Faroe Islands, having earlier played with the Faroese bands Straight Ahead and Streingjasúpan. Guðrið's last name was Hansen, which is a Danish form commonly used in the Faroe Islands, but later she changed it to the Faroese form Hansdóttir (which means daughter of Hans). When Guðrið was 14 years old, her father taught her to play the guitar, and ever since then she has been creating her own songs. Later she became a popular singer/songwriter in the Faroe Islands. She has won the Faroese music award called Planet Awards two times. In 2007, she was awarded as the Best Female Singer and in 2009 her album The Sky is Opening was awarded as the Best Album of 2009 (best Faroese album)Шаблон:Clarify. After her third album Beyond the Grey which was released in June 2011 she moved to Reykjavík, Iceland, where she concentrated fully on her music. She performed in various places in Iceland and also toured in Europe and USA. In the Faroes she has several times performed on music festivals like Summarfestivalurin in Klaksvík and the G! Festival in Syðrugøta. She has also played at big international festivals like SXSW in Austin, SPOT in Aarhus and Iceland Airwaves In Reykjavík. She finds inspiration in all, from Swedish pop music to 70s rock like Jethro Tull and 80s icon Kate Bush.

Byrta

Шаблон:Infobox musical artist In 2012 while living in Reykjavík, she met another Faroese musician, Janus Rasmussen who has for some years now been a member of the Icelandic/Faroese electro band Bloodgroup. The two found out that they had something in common, and started to play music together.

Before she met Janus, Guðrið wrote some new songs, this time in Faroese, instead of in English. She and Janus worked with these new songs for some months and planned to make a new album. She wrote the lyrics and composed the songs; Janus played all the instruments and later he produced the album. The album self-titled BYRTA was released in May 2013. They are now a new duo, which is called Byrta. Their music is electropop.
