Biography

  • Emilíana Torrini is an Icelandic singer-songwriter from Kópavogur, Iceland. Born to an Icelandic mother and Italian father, Emilíana Torrini’s musical influences are vast and her music has found success in many parts of Europe.

    Emilíana Torrini began singing at an early age as the member of several different choirs. Her Italian heritage and her raw talent lead the young singer and her soprano voice toward opera, which she studied formally from the age of 15.

    After finishing her musical education, Emilíana Torrini found herself drawn towards commercial rather than operatic singing. An initial compromise was her time spent as a member of the Icelandic artistic group GusGus. The group was an acting and musical collective, but became well known throughout Iceland for their electronic music. Emilíana Torrini contributed extensively to the group’s 1997 album “Polydistortion”.

    Other successful collaborations followed for Emilíana Torrini after her work with GusGus, and the singer found her song writing skills in demand by pop princess Kylie Minogue. Emilíana Torrini co-wrote the songs “Slow”, which went to number one in multiple countries including the UK, and “Someday” from Kylie Minogue’s 2003 album “Body Language”. In addition to her work with Kylie Minogue, Emilíana Torrini is credited with having written songs for the band Thievery Corporation and has contributed vocals for artists such as Paul Oakenfold.

    Emilíana Torrini has released eight solo studio albums since 1995 and has achieved two number one songs in her native Iceland with tracks “To Be Free” and “Jungle Drum”. Her indie pop sound is energetic and infectious and her song-writing abilities are vast. This combination of talent definitely explains her success as both a solo artist and as a creative collaborator, and it is almost certain that her work will shine within the music industry for quite some time to come.

Live reviews

  • If you haven't heard of Emiliana Torrini then you are missing out. She is an Icelandic singer. Her voice is lovely and she is nice to look at too. She may remind you a bit of Bijork but Emiliana Torrini is actually good. For all those Lord of the Rings fans out there, you may be interested to know that she sang "Gollum's Song" in The Two Towers.

    She sings lovely soft songs that really show off her voice. I love songs like "I Thought I Saw You on the Train" and "Big Jumps". She expressed common situations in a deeply emotional way that anyone can relate with. She always wears lovely dresses.I got to see her at a jazz festival during the Summer. The audience was quiet and listened like they were mesmerized by her voice, like I was. If you get the chance to see her, it will be very worth while.

    She wasn't much for talking to the audience but we weren't there to see her talk. I think she made good choices on the musicians that she got to work with her. They did a very good job and played well. It can be hard when you are just a singer to get good musicians to play with yu and help show off your voice int he right way.

  • Emiliana & The Colorist were amazing at The Union Chapel last night. Initially I was a little apprehensive and was worried that the orchestra, who at times can appear quirky, would detract from the beautiful, simplicity of her voice, but I needn't have.

    The synchronisation between all the members and the way they gelled was an absolute pleasure to watch. The Union Chapel is a great venue also and is quite fitting for this style of music.

    Can't wait to see Emiliana Torrini come back to the UK again.

  • It was absolutely stunning and amazing. The orchesta she played with has a name that suits them perfectly "The colorists" as they definitely painted the night with a beautiful energy that made me feel excited and happy about being there

  • Emiliana is absolutely great, funny, energetic and self-ironic. The stage looked like a playground, where she and The Colorist performed like craaaaaaazy. I really hope they keep on playing together. 5/5
