Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson is a 25-year-old Icelandic singer-songwriter and musician. His style is a blend of acoustic folk, indie and electronica. In his Icelandic releases, he was credited as Ásgeir Trausti but rebranded under the mononym Ásgeir in 2013 with his launching as an international artist.

Ásgeir’s debut album Dýrð í dauðaþögn was released in 2012, but the English language version of the album was released as In the Silence. American singer John Grant helped with the translation of the lyrics and re-production of the English language album.
