Icelandic artist Inki, known as Ingibjörg Friðriksdóttir to her parents & the postman, creates music for late-night drives and the feeling of going barefoot on the dance floor.

Inki’s tracks are carefully composed, driven by slightly over-caffeinated ideas – think subtly hip hop laced scandi pop or if James Blake and Lykke Li had a drunken heart to heart in an Icelandic mountain cabin.

On stage, she brings a warm and light hearted energy, creating a genuine connection with her audience. Offstage, she‘s probably lost in 48 browser tabs.

Following the sold-out concert of her debut album Thoughts Midsentence, Inki is now finishing up her second album, Locally Grown, while planning her first international tour. Catch her this November at Iceland Airwaves.

Press

The very first time I came across Inki I remarked that if she can replicate her recorded work live it should be pretty spectacular to listen to/watch. But I’d never seen a live show until last night, when I found a compilation video of four songs from December 2024. And here it is. Introducing a hybrid lady with a live performance made out of parts of Loreen (without the aerobics), Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Shirley Bassey. Is this one of the leading songwriters in Iceland I hear you say? Is the Pope Catholic? Is Wrestling fixed? Enjoy.
Nordic Music CentralReview about “Islander”, 2025
Inki is renowned for her distinctive sound and ability to blend genres seamlessly, mixing elements of alt-pop, dreamy synthesizers, and contemporary classical music, crafting an immersive sonic experience that resonates with audience across the musical spectrum. Inki’s vocal performance effortlessly weaves through the song’s sonic landscape, conveying a mix of vulnerability and strength.
AFX RadioReviewing This One For Me single release
The upcoming project ‘Thoughts Midsentence’ will be a bold step into uncharted territory for Inki. Departing from her contemporary classical background into the avant-pop world, Inki fearlessly explores a captivating sonic landscape that defies convention.
Curious For MusicReviewing This One For Me single release
There’s a place for music like this and the ‘journey’ she relates and it isn’t in the pop charts (let’s face it there’s fat chance of it getting onto them). But it deserves to be preserved for posterity, a study in the darker side of Icelandic life that’s more valid than any Nordic Noir drama, in the National Museum, for future generations to ponder over as much as any Viking Saga, Halldór Laxness novel or folklore about elves and trolls.
Nordic Music CentralReviewing Brotabrot album
We can’t really think of many records that can accurately be described as “an album, book and feminist critique” – and which also take the form of an augemented-reality app. We also can’t think of too many musicians that are truly competent in creating all those aspects while also doing their own graphic design, and taking care of that element with such a flair for typography and wonky minimalism. Enter Inki, the multidisciplinary Icelandic artist who’s proven to be the ultimate 21st century Renaissance woman.
People Of PrintInterview about Quite the Situation
Listening to the album does feel a bit emotionally jarring. You are captivated twice. At first, you are joyful and having a great time listening to electronic music. Then, you listen to the interviews overlaid on top, and you almost feel guilty for being so joyful, but then you’re captivated by the stories being told.
Reykjavik GrapevineInterview about Brotabrot
„Piece of Cake“ by Inki started with a sharp high pitched sound made by Frank, the percussionist, with a drumstick on top of a cymbal. This sound is so scary but yet there is something beautiful to it. The harp held the thirll with long flickering tones through the piece. Frank also made a fascinating and beautiful sound by stroking a string instrument bow at the end of the keys of a vibraphone that just sounded so good.
