About Us

Hello! We are Ragnhildur Veigarsdóttir and Ása Bjartmarz. Together we form PASHN (pronounced like 'passion'). We met at The Iceland Academy of Arts and began writing music together in March of 2016. We formed a group to participate in the Iceland Music Experiments competition and made it to the finals despite only having two weeks to prepare. This experience got the ball rolling and since then we have performed at Iceland Airwaves, worked as a Creative Summer Group for Hitt Húsið youth center, performed all around Reykjavík and warmed up for artists like Daði Freyr and Hildur.

We have both studied music most of our lives. Ragnhildur grew up in Los Angeles until the age of 18 and moved to Iceland in the fall of 2012. She attended FÍH where she studied both jazz piano and jazz vocals until she started school at The Academy of Arts in the fall of 2015. Ása grew up in Sweden and moved to Iceland in January of 2015 after studying Vocal Performance at BIMM in London. We started school at The Academy of Arts at the same time and quickly saw that creating and performing music was a dream of ours that we had in common. When The Iceland Music Experiments competition came to an end in 2016 we knew that we wanted to continue this project, so we decided to continue as PASHN.

After a year of writing music together we sent out two demos in March of 2017 and received a lot of positive feedback. The reactions we got have encouraged us to create and develop our sound even more and now we are ready to release our first album!

Around the time that we shared out first demos it was obvious to us that we needed to write and record more music. Since then we have become accustomed to arranging and producing on our own by putting as much time and effort as we can into the music. Six months after sending out our first demos we formally released our first song, 'Weathering a Storm', which you can listen to below:

Our first album will be a four track CD. The process technically began when we first started writing music together in early 2016, however it wasn't until at Iceland Airwaves 2017 that we decided to make this dream a reality. Ása is now studying abroad at Staffordshire University, where her focus is on electronic music production and this past few months we have been working on the creative process in separate countries. We are now in the midst of producing the songs, but to finish the process and help our ideas manifest in a tangible CD we need your help! Other aspects of this release are in collaboration with Sigríður Birna Matthíasdóttir in designing merchandise, and photographer Móna Lea and graphic designer Andri Ingvarsson for the album cover and artwork to support the dreamy atmosphere our music has been described as.
