Elín Hall in Teen Vogue
Ahead of her performance at Iceland Airwaves 2025, Elín sat down with Teen Vogue in Reykjavík to talk about her ambitions for the future.
See quotes from the article and interview below:
“In my head, it's very two different things, making music in Iceland and then making music internationally, and it kind of messes with your head sometimes,” Hall muses. “I had this unique decision to make to stay in my own cultural context or leave it. And when I decided to leave it, because I decided to work with an international team, there have been so many things that have snuck back on me, these questions of how ambitious am I, and do I want fame, or things that just were never a part of, I think, how I saw myself as an artist. I'm just in awe, still, that I'm able to be a musician.
- My biggest fear isn't not making it. It's to lose the things that I already have.”
“I love how it (Iceland Airwaves) just completely changes this part of the city. There's music everywhere, people everywhere, and you can just kind of go from the church to the concert hall and there's gigs,” Hall says. “You can go from seeing Aurora to seeing Eva, to seeing Monsters and Men. There are so many artists that I have read about and then discovered that they played Airwaves right before they blew up.”
“We (Icelanders) really, I think, are open to people experimenting and just listening to what other people are creating. It's a very open atmosphere, and there are lots of opportunities for new emerging artists.”
