Born and raised in the Northern fishing village of Húsavík, singer-songwriter and producer Axel Flóvent recorded his first EP Forest Fires, it was here where the songs were written under the influence of everything from Bon Iver to Bombay Bicycle Club. It yielded an international phenomenon in the form of the title track, generating over 77 million streams.

Over the years, he engaged audiences with his Quiet Eyes EP [2017], Tourist EP [2020], and full-length debut album You Stay by the Sea [2021], and live performances around the world (supported artists such as The Paper Kites, Juníus Meyvant in Europe, and Radical Face in North America and played at many renowned Festivals).

In late 2023, Axel released two new singles (When the Sun Goes Down and Asymmetry) and the new album 'Away From This Dream' was released in June 2024.
