Early life

Jóhann was born on 31 May 1992 in Reykjavík.[1] He is the son of composer Jóhann G. Jóhannsson [is] and violinist Bryndís Pálsdóttir.[1][3] He grew up in the Laugarás neighbourhood of Reykjavík.[3] He wanted to be a musician and studied the piano for ten years but had difficulty reading music.[3] At the age of 12 he wrote a song titled Hvar er Guðmundur? which became a hit on the Internet and on radio.[3] He performed at concerts, singing his own songs and playing the guitar.[3] He was religious as a child but this stopped after he read the entire Bible.[3]

Jóhann quit journalism after returning to Iceland from studying in the UK and entered politics, joining the Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylkingin) in 2020.[3][7] He worked as an advisor to the party's parliamentary group.[8] He was elected to the Althing at the 2021 parliamentary election.[9] He was re-elected at the 2024 parliamentary election.[10][11]
