Hi, I’m Mikael; you're reading this because you probably have heard one of my songs. I’m a guitarist and composer from Iceland, and I like to make instrumental music that chases moods and stories from my own life. So while I have you, here are a few things about me. 

My dad owned a record shop and label, so he had more than 10.000 LPs at home and was always listening. I started learning classical piano at a young age but began losing interest in it in my teens; my mom convinced me to keep going. By chance, an uncle of mine gave me an electric guitar when I was 12. Initially, I wasn’t thrilled about it and thought, “Oh no, this is another instrument I’ll have to practice every day.” But soon I fell in love with it; it became my best friend and has been since then. 

This year I'm releasing the 5th album under my name 'Half Sun. An album with cinematic soundscapes and lyrical melodies.  

In the future, I aim to tour more and share my music with as many people as possible. In addition, I will continue playing solo guitar and with my ensemble, I'm putting new moods and stories into song form daily to share with you! So glad you’re here; I hope to see you around. (:
