A Cold War Reykjavík child is a label that has produced a great many productive artists that have made their mark on the Icelandic Cuture and Art scene.
Reykjavík was a dynamic place to grow up at the time and the post-war era was greatly influenced by the presence of an American Naval Base in the neighbouring town of Keflavík.

After the sensible safety measure of obtaing a degree as a Sosial Worker, Valgeir proceeded to follow his heart as a musician, songwriter and lyricist of some of Icleand's most popular music as well as working in radio, theatre, films and television.
He has a number of filmscores under his belt as well as his impressive musical soundscapes for a number of PBS series and Discovery Channel programs in the US.
Valgeir´s relaxed way of delivering his music and words has earned him a reputation as one of the prime artists of Iceland.
He most recent work is geared towards children along with his passion for bringing Icelandic culture to the eyes and ears of travelers who visit Bakkastofa. His performaces are vibrant and reflect some very important parts of the Icleandic mindset.
