<\/p>\nThe young composer and singer Sveinn \u00cdsak Kristinsson, better known by his stage name, Svenn\u00fd, has been playing charming and sweet tunes all over Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur this summer at so-called pop-up concerts. Svenn\u00fd plays the piano and sings her own original songs. She has been holding short concerts, which typically last for around half an hour, for residents and visitors in public gardens, caf\u00e9s, the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Library and care homes.<\/p>\n
Sveinn says the artist name, Svenn\u00fd, is relatively recent, but the name came about from a blend of his first name and a journey of self-discovery regarding gender and gender neutrality.<\/p>\n
The songwriter has been writing his own music for over five years, but music has always played a big part in his life. Sveinn has, among other things, played the piano for 10 years, sung in a choir at primary and secondary school, been a group leader for the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Arts Group and been involved in various musicals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Svenn\u00fd's creativity is certainly not in hiding when the audience gets to hear the great passion and depth that accompanies her performance. After all, she composes one song every week throughout the summer, as well as premiering it for the audience weekly. When it comes to the creative process for new songs, Svenn\u00fd starts by letting the inspiration come through her piano playing. From there, lyrics that enhance the experience occasionally emerge, but her songs are also often enjoyed through pure piano playing.<\/p>\n
Creative summer jobs have opened many doors for this young and talented musician, who we will no doubt be hearing a lot more from in the near future. At the end of the summer, Svenn\u00fd will release her first song. Anyone interested will be able to access it on Spotify and all major streaming platforms. You can follow the behind-the-scenes songwriting, daily activities and live performances via his Instagram account and on TikTok under the name: @svenny.music. <\/p>\n
Creative summer jobs with the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are part of the summer programme for the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School. Creative summer jobs are advertised separately, and individuals and groups are invited to submit ideas for creative projects with their application. These projects are designed to bring even more life to the town over the summer, making it more fun, beautiful and diverse through artistic and creative events. Particular attention is paid to the diversity of projects and ensuring they appeal to different age groups and interests. The selected groups will then have the opportunity to liven up the social scene and entertainment in the heart of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, delighting tourists and residents with all sorts of initiatives. Street Music with Svenn\u00fd is one of these projects. Eight other creative projects are being run by the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School this year, and these projects will also be featured on the council's media channels.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
