A Jazz pop singer from Iceland.

I think she has been around for a while but her career is beginning to sky rocket now.

This is the song that I first heard from her... biggest hit so far.

I hadn't even heard of her, so I was shocked when she sold out the Boston Garden arena last fall. I then saw her live in December at the annual KISS-108 concert, where she sang a handful of songs. She sounded great, but it was still crazy to hear 15k teens singing along to bossa nova songs!

I know she's blown up in our household after Alyssa Liu skated to her in the Olympics. I was actually surprised by a few things: how her name is pronounced, that she's Chinese (well before I saw what she looked like) and also how she sounds like she came off the Steven Universe/Rebecca Sugar soundtrack, though I'm sure there's a name for this genre.

I only know about her because of my daughter, who is a big fan.

likewise, but I really like what I’ve heard.

Yeah, she's pretty good. My daughter (she just turned 17) isn't much of a fan of the typical pop stuff coming out these days, Taylor Swift, etc., she likes a lot of classic stuff including The Beatles and Queen, so when she gets interested in a current artist, I'm always curious what they sound like. She has good taste in music like her old man. My son on the other hand has quite eclectic tastes, he plays drums and guitar and he likes a lot of more intense, complex stuff. His current faves are stuff like Cattle Decapitation (technical death metal) and "beatdown" bands like Knocked Loose. (I introduced him to the former, the latter he found on his own)

Alysa Liu is in the Madwoman video

And Bieber gets away with playing YouTube videos and doing karaoke. She sings, dances and plays the cello for ONE song.

She did a NPR Tiny Desk concert that is worth a watch, I think that was my first exposure to her.

ETA: I am on my android phone in which I do not use to view pron but I am getting a Easy Girls To Screw ad on this site, no joke. Yikes

I took a screenshot and can provide it when I get home and post in the forum maintenance thread.

Anoter ETA:I already posted the image w/spoiler tag in the appropriate thread.

Definitely worth a watch!
