Daði Freyr Pétursson, born on June 30, 1992, in Reykjavík, Iceland, spent his early childhood in Denmark before returning to Iceland at age nine. He cultivated his musical talents from a young age, practicing drums, piano, and bass guitar. His formal education includes a BA in music management and audio production, which he earned in 2017 from the Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin. His early career saw him co-founding the band RetRoBot, which won the Músíktilraunir in 2012, where he was also recognized as the best electronic musician of the year. RetRoBot later released their debut album, “Blackout.” These foundational experiences shaped his artistic direction and prepared him for a broader stage.
His career significantly advanced with his participation in Söngvakeppnin, the Icelandic national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2017, he competed with “Is This Love?,” finishing second. He returned in 2020 with his band Daði & Gagnamagnið and the song “Think About Things,” which went viral globally. Although the 2020 Eurovision was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he and his band were internally selected to represent Iceland again in 2021 with “10 Years.” They achieved a fourth-place finish, tying Iceland’s best performance in terms of points scored. These Eurovision appearances propelled him to international recognition, leading to European and North American tours.
Post-Eurovision, Daði Freyr has continued to expand his musical partnerships and releases. He collaborated with artists such as Montaigne and Tokio Hotel on singles and released his second studio album, “I Made an Album,” in 2023. His talent has been recognized with awards including Pop Song of the Year at the Icelandic Music Awards in 2021 and other accolades like Best Music Video and Singer of the Year at Hlustendaverðlaunin. He is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2024, demonstrating his continued presence on the international music scene. He has actively engaged with his audience through various platforms, creating an app “Neon Planets” and maintaining a strong online presence.
