A Farmer´s tale

Born in 1983 and raised mostly on his grandparents´ farm, just outside Akureyri, he always aimed to be a BIG farmer when growing up. A few years later and a world of experience richer, his passion is solely dedicated to singing and Gisli puts all his soul and power into it. With a degree in scuba  diving he also is a qualified sport trainer and has grown mussels in Hrísey for many years.
 
Gisli is fanatic when it comes to cars and motobikes. He usually has a few of both and takes care of them like his own children. No car is too old and no bike is too worn for Gisli to make it like new with his skills in mechanics.

It all started in 1994 when Gísli got his hands on the VHS casette, The Three Tenors in Concert. From there his enthusiasm for opera was started. Then, one sunny day in 2010, Gisli was driving a Mercedes and Pavarotti was singing in the stereo. In a split second it was decided just then and there to become a proffessional opera singer. He signed up for the musical school of Akureyri in 2011 and since then his mind has been set to become one of the big names.

Along with singing Gisli is a tourist guide at the Saga Travel and takes tourists from all around the world to explore the amazing nature of north Iceland, along with a little singing while doing it.
