Born: November 21, 1965, Reykjavik, Iceland

Where Björk's vocal expression matured in Kukl, she first came to prominence as one of the lead vocalists of the avant-pop Icelandic sextet Sugarcubes, The.
When she launched a solo career -after the group's 1992 demise- she quickly eclipsed her old band's popularity. Instead of following the Sugarcubes' arty guitar rock, Björk immersed herself in dance and club culture, working with many of the biggest names in the genre, including Mark Bell, Nellee Hooper, Underworld, Howie B. and Tricky.
Debut established her new artistic direction and became an international hit, making her one of the '90s most unlikely stars.
