About Thor Kristinsson

Reykjavik, Iceland rock

Neoclassic, acoustic singer/songwriter rock. James Blunt, Tom Jones, Cat Stevens and Freddie Mercury cloned. Mixed and stirred in with a delightfully quirky and refreshing hint of fire and ice.

Singer/songwriter Thor Kristinsson comes out with his debut album after an interesting and unusual career. Starting out in smoke-filled cafés in his native Iceland and moving on to songwriting and session-singing, Thor got sidetracked acting and singing in blockbuster musicals such as Les Miserables and Jesus Christ Superstar on the West End in London, England, touring in the UK and Europe for many years.

Following a dream and a strong urge to have his own creative say, Thor connected with award-winning producing/engineering team Fred Lavery and Sheppy at Lakewind Sound Studios, creating "Running Naked"; a CD that is a journey through many of life's questions, along with some funny and strange little stories and funky tunes.

Thor takes you on a journey with heartfelt songs, songs about strange people and situations, about taking charge, taking chances and living life to the full. With passion, range and a voice that takes your breath away.
