Björk was born on November 21, 1965 is an Icelandic singer-songwriter, composer, actress and music producer. She has been nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award and two Golden Globe awards (including one for acting).

She is best known for her expressive range and an interest in many kinds of music, including pop, alternative rock, jazz, ambient music, electronica, and folk. She has won numerous awards.

Her record label, One Little Indian, reported in 2003 that she had sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.[1] Her most recent album, Volta, was released worldwide on May 8, 2007. She was ranked #36 on VH1's "The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll" and #8 on MTV's "22 Greatest Voices in Music".

The band was eventually dissolved, in part due to the closure of their label, Gramm. In the summer of 1986, several members of KUKL and the surrealist group Medusa got together to create the arts collective Smekkleysa (Bad Taste).

They created a musical division, a band again called KUKL, but soon changed the name to The Sugarcubes. Smekkleysa and the Sugarcubes were officially started on the same day as the birth of Björk's son, Sindri.
