Born in Iceland, Sunna Margrét took up music at an early age, it was the discovery of jazz music that opened up a new field of expression for her. On leaving her teens, she suddenly found herself traveling the world to play music. She later moved to Switzerland and began studying art. A change of life and environment, coupled with motherhood, encouraged her to create free-spirited music, bathed in varied aesthetic experiences but always imbued with a science of melody and curiosity. In addition to her musical endeavours, Sunna Margrét is an accomplished visual artist who frequently marries her music and art. She sees art as a form of resistance and this motivated her to co-found DIY label No Salad Records. The label became a place to foster her own artistic visions and collaborations, presenting artists from different corners of the world, across a multitude of genres including avant-garde, electronic and post-punk. tinyurl.com
