Biography
"LAY LOW is the alter ego of singer-songwriter Lovísa Elísabet
Sigrúnardóttir, who was born in London in 1982 to an Icelandic mother
and Sri Lankan father, with the family relocating to Reykjavík when she
was a small child. She took piano lessons at a young age and started
playing bass and guitar in her teens, performing with several local acts
before joining the experimental rock band Benny Crespo’s Gang adding
keyboard, synthesizers….and her voice….to her musical armory.
LAY LOW evolved in early 2006, after Lovísa was contacted by a local
label showing an interest in a raw demo she had placed on MySpace that
combined elements of blues, folk and country and twisted them into a
fascinating new shape. Just a few short months after being discovered
she had recorded and released her debut album,‘Please Don’t Hate Me’,
which topped the Icelandic chart and became the bestselling original
album in the country that year, getting nominated for four Icelandic
Music Awards (winning three) in the process."More info at: http://laylow.is/bio/
