I was born in 1984 in Reykjavík. I grew up in Iceland and I’ve spent most of my life living in Iceland. I had a chance though to study abroad in Stockholm and New York and spent periods in Berlin, as well as traveling quite a lot through my work as a musician.
I express myself on a soul level through music, singing and poetry. The other important roles I play to name a few are being a mother, wife, daughter, business student, vegan food enthusiast, animal lover and a raja-yoga student. I love to read books and I love listening to music and discovering new music.
SoHForum’s note:
Ragnheiður Gröndal (Ragga) has been described as one of Iceland’s most remarkable voices. The sound of Ragga Gröndal’s music is warm, adventurous and modern, yet accessible for curious music-lovers. At the heart of it is Ragga’s unique vocal expression who has been described as one of Iceland’s most remarkable vocalists. The longing to share music with the world is a part of a bigger collective dream that music can have the power to unite people who come from a different background. Music holds the key to understanding and compassion and is the strongest available medicine for the soul.
A reflection on the theme: 'Towards a Loving World, Leadership and Governance for Well-Being'.
It's all very interesting to me. I'm curious to see how today's business and political environment and well-being of people can go together hand in hand. Sometimes I'm not very optimistic and I feel so much needs to change. But I strongly believe that well-being starts inside. And we must change on the inside to change the outside.
