      She is indeed. And the band she's in (monsters and men), i heard a song from that has been one of my favorites. It's called little talks, which I didn't know was performed by them at first, and that the band even existed. And it would have to be one of their most popular songs

    It's a fantastic album! Crybaby made me... cry. I can't wait to see her at Iceland Airwaves this year! Hopefully OMAM will also continue in the future.

    I love the magic of Nanna and her connection to her art. The interviewer was layed back and causally brought her comfort level and sharing of herself.

    Nanna is great, but I think my favorite part of this video is at the very beginning where it's shown the red lamp behind her is labeled "lamp".

    I bet when the wood on the guitars are cold they have a unique crisp sound to them. Especially the open bodied and acoustic guitars

    Hey Nanna, I stumbled across your music on CZcams for the group, "Of Monsters and Men." You are very talented and beautiful in music, spirit, and as a person. Keep on making good music. I only wish I was able to keep this dream as I used to be a Lead singer, bassist, and drummer. However, I am no longer in practice and truly miss leading. Contact me to hear some of my covers I did just out of the blue without practice.
