Eivør was born in the year of 1983 in a small village called Gøta in the Faroe Islands. She started singing before she could walk, and now - many years later - she is still better at singing than walking.
Eivør has released 5 albums with her own music, all of them with different great artists from around the world.
Eivør has toured most parts of the world. Solo as well as with great bands like Yggdrasil and Clickhaze. Since 2004 she has mostly played solo or with the Canadian folksinger and legend Bill Bourne (2004-2005).
The last two years Eivør has played different venues as well as published a CD with the prestigious Danish Radio Big Band. In 2006 she started working with acknowledged Irish producer Donald Lunny, with whom she co-produced her latest album, "Human Child".
Eivør has won different awards in Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Denmark. In 2006 she was nominated in 6 categories at The Danish Music Award for folk music, of which she won two awards - "Best female singer" and "Best folk album". She also won the Icelandic "Best theatrical music" award for the music she wrote for Icelandic theater show "Úlfhamssaga" in 2005.
Eivør is often compared to the Faroese landscape. Her voice leads you from the shores, up the mountains and back again. She can sing like a gentle summer breeze and within a split-second her voice can turn into the most powerful thunderstorm. She sings with passion and emotion and every time she sings it's as if it was her first time.
We would love to invite you to visit Eivør on her website www.eivor.com
Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
