One of my favourite possessions is the fictional book "Sarah" by the recently unmasked J.T LeRoy. Its about this guy who went through this terrible thing when he was about 12 or 13, he says, He was sniffing glue and giving blow jobs to truck drivers. He had the worst life imaginable but he was the happiest man in the world because things were going great and he was making money. He was seeing the bright side of everything. That story really inspired me. If youre at the bottom theres always a way up. I try to look at life like that.
I am an Icelander who lives in Norway; a drummer who now sings (no Phil Collins jokes, please). I love Beck the Eels, loads of hip-hop and Leonard Nimoy's Spock. I parents named me Gisli which means Hostage and now people have started picking up on it in England, and now I am aware I have a really weird name.
My father was a fisherman, who would return from trips to Germany with records by the Beatles. From then on it was a barmy adventure from my dads record collection straight into Iron Maiden by age six. Later, I got into Duran Duran, David Bowie and hip-hop. Its all kinda what my album sounds like I guess.
