At the time of "The Prince of Egypt", it was very rare that people would audition for roles in musicals unless they had a BA acting degree and the same rule applied in dubbing. I remember Steinunn Ólína (the dubbing director) calling me and asking me if I could audition for the role, they had trouble finding someone for the role that DreamWorks would approve, and apparently all the usual candidates had been tried already. Apparently there was a certain timbre in the voice they were looking for.

In 2012 I started developping the concept of a music app for kids and early last year (2015) I founded the company "Rosamosi" with a computer engineer from Iceland, Hilmar Þór Birgisson, of which I am the chief executive officer (CEO). Earlier this year (2016à) our dream was realised when we launched our first app "Mussila - Musical Monster Adventure", an app that teaches the basics of music through fun and adventurous challenges and currently we are preparing the launch of our next app; the "Mussila DJ".
I continue singing though and I have a CD prepared for recording. However my job at "Rosamosi" is very demanding so the singing has to be a spare time activity for now. Meanwhile I do the occasional home recording and add it on my youtube channel. The latest one is a bit of a twist on on Bill Wither's "Ain't no sunshine", a little distance from Miriam - and a few years down the road. |
