Born in Reykjavik in 1969, Jóhannsson's musical journey was deeply influenced by his parents' and sister's eclectic record collection, which ranged from classical music to experimental rock. This diverse upbringing laid the foundation for his innovative approach to composition, which he applied across various media, including theatre, dance, television, and film.
