Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Bjork showed an interest in music very early in life. She studied classical music in elementary school and her stepfather recorded and released her first album when she was only 11. Throughout her teens, she was in several bands, mostly punk rock, including Spit & Snot, Exodus, Jam 80, Tappi Tikarrass and Kukl. Eventually she formed the band the Sugarcubes which experienced some success in the UK and the U.S. In 1993, Bjork decided to venture outside the Sugarcubes and released a solo album titled Debut, which sold nearly 3 million copies.


Following the success of Debut, Bjork released her next solo album in 1995, Post. She went on to release several other albums including the soundtrack to the movie Dancer in the Dark, which she also starred in. She has been nominated for 12 Grammys and one Oscar. She also won four BRIT Awards and received several other nominations for her performances.


Bjork released her sixth full-length studio album, Volta, in May. Its debut was her first album to reach the Top Ten in the United States.  The newest album features hip-hop producer Timbaland and has proven to be her greatest international success.


Doors will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. The Pearl is home to the Miller Lite concert series; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.
