BIOGRAPHY
Thor Kristinsson was born in Iceland in 1971.
He has been working as a performer and songwriter throughout his career. His first love was blues, and having started in his teens playing smoke-filled café's and bars with a guitar and mouthorgan he soon fell in love with the theatre. His professional debut was in HAIR the musical and moved on to the role of JUDAS in SUPERSTAR. Alongside his theatre career in Iceland Thor worked as a session singer and songwriter. He left his Icelandic rock band, Zalka, to work in the West End musical theatre, his debut there being -again- Superstar. He has since understudied and played many major roles in the musical LES MISERABLES, the highlight of his work there understudying Colm Wilkinson in his comeback in Dublin to the role that made him famous.
More recently Thor played ‘Jehovah’ in the new musical ROLL OVER JEHOVAH at the New End Theatre in Hampstead and toured the United Kingdom playing ‘The Phantom’ in Ken Hill’s PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Thor made various appearances on Icelandic national television and radio both as a solo artist and with the band ZALKA. He has recorded several songs of his own as well as working as a session singer for Icelandic artists. Thor appeared in the music videos MISSIR and ENDALAUST HAF and the films COLD FEVER, NONNI OG MANNI and one episode of the BBC TV series ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER.
Thor also appeared in the Scandinavian stadium tour of LES MIS - A MUSICAL SPECTACULAR, with The LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, starring two Scandinavian stars touring their Nordic countries in concert supported by an elite West End cast.
On a different note, Thor released the relaxation CD "From Relaxation to Sleep", meant for people who have trouble sleeping. The recording can also be downloaded at CalmSleep.com.
Thor is currently working on his first solo album and several original writing projects.Have you performed in front of an audience?Watch this space.
