Mamiko Dís is from Reykjavík, Iceland. She is half Icelandic and half Japanese.

She has a degree in composition and is a classically trained pianist. However, she also has a great passion for composing pop music. She is currently studying jazz piano.

She released her debut album, Ljóðin um veginn (Poems on the Way There) in November 2014. It is a concept album based on ten poems by the Icelandic poet Kristján Hreinsson. Eight of the poems have been translated into Japanese. She sings in both Japanese and Icelandic, making the most of her half-Japanese heritage. The CD comes with a booklet in Icelandic and Japanese.

It is very important for her to keep her Japanese roots. She grew up watching 80s anime videos all the time and fell in love with anime.

Her pop music is unique and beautiful. Her music features interesting electronic percussion and some decidedly classical elements. She sings about important things in life that many people can relate to: friendship, optimism, telling the truth, gratitude, etc.

Mamiko Dís has vowed to dedicate her life to music. For her, music is more important than anything else. If you listen closely to her music, you can hear that.
