BIOGRAPHY

Thorsteinn Einarsson is an Icelandic-born, Austria-based pop artist and one of the country’s most-played voices on radio.  Powered by hits like “Leya,” “Kryptonite,” “Swingset,” “Galaxy,” “Shackles,” “Echo,” and the 2024 Top-10 airplay smash “Hotel Heartache,” he’s amassed 30M+ streams, over 7M video views, and more than 70K followers.  He marked his 10-year milestone in 2024 with wall-to-wall TV and radio presence, a judge seat on ORF’s “Die Große Chance,” a co-co-headline show on Donauinselfest’s main stage (80,000+), and Austria’s most-played national song of the year.

Along the way he earned an Amadeus Austrian Music Award (“Songwriter of the Year”) for his breakout “Leya” and released 4 studio albums, with every single one charting Top-10 in the Austrian album charts.  In 2025, he sustained his momentum with the hit single “Oh Love,” delivering yet another Top-10 radio airplay smash.  In 2026 and 2027, he’ll headline major live shows, release a new album, and tour across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy/South Tyrol – with more (international) highlights to come.
