Bubbi Morthens (born June 6, 1956 in Reykjavík, Iceland), is one of the
most popular singers and songwriters in Iceland. His name of birth is
Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens, Bubbi being the affectionate form of Ásbjörn.
Bubbi Morthens recorded his first solo album in 1979, a blend of rock,
blues and reggae, and published it the following year with the title of
Ísbjarnarblús which led him to popularity in Iceland due to influences of
Iggy Pop and other artists, the changes of music styles during the
recording sessions, but particularly due to the lyrics as their content was
embedded in the social struggle, especially of the lower classes from the
fishing industry to migrant workers.
His first important band was Utangarðsmenn (The Outsiders), a punk band
that led the new wave movement in Iceland and was formed by guitarists
Michael D. Pollock (Mickey Dean) and Daniel Pollock (Dirty Dan), drummer
Magnús Stefán
