At 19 years old Axel moved to Amsterdam to connect with the vibrancy of the Dutch music scene. He then traded Amsterdam for the seaside town of Brighton in the UK where he recorded his EP 'Youthful Hearts'. 

The proximity to the open sea and coastline, gave him clarity to move back to his roots, returning to Iceland and planting seeds in the capital Reykjavík. Tapping into the DIY spirit of his earliest recordings, but with a sense of refinement and newfound perspective, 

Axel continued his musical journey releasing in 2021 his debut album 'You Stay By The Sea' with his new label home Nettwerk Records. In 2022 he kept himself busy creatively, releasing a collaboration EP as well as a deluxe version of his debut album, that included his emotive latest single 'Tomorrow Will Be Gone'. Axel is currently dividing his time between playing shows/festivals across Europe and writing new music in his studio in Iceland.
