Recently named Iceland's best female artist, singer/song writer Hera has actually been based in New Zealand for the last 10 years - her family lives here, and it is like her second home.
She divides her year between family time in the Southern Hemisphere and an intensive European touring schedule where she has been working with big names such as Nick Cave.
In 2003, Hera’s song 'Make Believe' was the 3rd most played song on national radio in Iceland as well as being a finalist track in the in the USA songwriting competition.
Since picking up a classical guitar at age 8 it wasn’t long before Hera had released 'Homemade 99' – (released in 1999, and made at home… hence the title :)
Hera has released four solo CDs, the latest 'Hafid Thennan Dag' went gold in Iceland. Her songs have been included on 6 other compilations, one of her songs was used on the soundtrack for 'The Sea' and on tonlist.is – eight of the ten songs on the top ten were Hera’s, at the same time.
It seems that Iceland can’t get enough of Hera, but they are going to have to wait a little longer as she is spending the next year here in Aotearoa...
