Jónsi

Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson () (born 23 April 1975) is the guitarist and vocalist for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. He is known for his use of a cello bow on guitar and his falsetto or countertenor〔http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-11-26/music/shades-of-gray/〕 voice. He is also blind in his right eye from birth as a cause of a broken optic nerve from the brain. He is openly gay. Apart from Sigur Rós, Jónsi also performs together with his partner Alex Somers as an art collaboration called Jónsi & Alex. They released their self-titled first book in November 2006, which was an embossed hardcover limited to 1000 copies, along with their first album, ''Riceboy Sleeps'', in July 2009.
On 1 December 2009, Jónsi's official website, jonsi.com, was launched in anticipation of his debut solo album, ''Go'', which was released the week of 5 April 2010. After the release of the album, Jónsi promptly started a worldwide tour across North America and Europe, featuring songs from the album plus a few other selections, planning to tour from March to September.
In late January 2010, Jónsi announced that Sigur Rós was on "an indefinite hiatus", as the band had scrapped plans for a new album previously announced to be released in 2010, saying that "they were just rumours". The band decided to take the year off, as several members of Sigur Rós recently had children, and as Jónsi developed his solo career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sigur Rós Official Site News )〕 The band is now back together again and released the album ''Valtari'' on 28 May 2012 with a following tour starting in August of the same year, and more recently the album ''Kveikur'' on 18 June 2013.
==Musical history==
In 1995, Jónsi fronted a band called 'Bee Spiders', under the alias 'Jonny B'. He wore sunglasses on stage throughout whole concerts. Bee Spiders received the 'most interesting band' award in 1995 in a contest for unknown bands called ''Músíktilraunir'' ((英語:Music Experimentations)). The band played long rock songs and was compared to The Smashing Pumpkins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=sigur rós – trivia )〕 Jónsi also fronted a grunge band called Stoned around 1992–1993. He also uses the alias Frakkur to release his solo material, e.g. the contribution to ''Kitchen Motors Family Album'' which marks the first release under this name.
Since then, Jónsi has been the frontman for Sigur Rós since the band formed in 1994, and released their first album, ''Von'', in 1997. The group released four other studio albums over the next 11 years together, until 2010 when the group announced their "indefinite hiatus", for the band members to spend some time with their families and solo careers.
Aside from his many years with Sigur Rós, Jónsi collaborated with his partner Alex Somers on their album, ''Riceboy Sleeps'', under the moniker Jónsi & Alex, which was released in 2009. In April 2010, Jónsi released his first solo album, Go, and began a worldwide tour to promote the album from March – September across North America and Europe.
Jónsi recorded "Sticks and Stones" for the score to the 2010 film ''How to Train Your Dragon'', for which DreamWorks Animation released a music video on 17 December 2010.
Jonsi's song "Around Us" was used for the American promotional trailer for Studio Ghibli's film, ''The Secret World of Arriety'' and was also included in the FIFA 11 soundtrack.
His song "Tornado" was featured in the arena show adaptation of DreamWorks' ''How to Train Your Dragon''.
Jónsi also wrote the score for the 2012 Cameron Crowe film, ''We Bought A Zoo''.

Boy Lilikoi, and instrumental versions of Tornado, Sinking Friendships, and Around Us were all included in the 2012 documentary This Is What Love In Action Looks Like.
In 2014, he co-wrote the song "Where No One Goes" for the film ''How to Train Your Dragon 2'' with the film's composer John Powell. He also co-wrote the melody for "For The Dancing and Dreaming" for ''How to Train Your Dragon 2''. He also wrote a rough-demo (entitled "Mama's Boy") for ''How to Train Your Dragon 2'' that was eventually replaced by "Flying With Mother".
