Daði Freyr is an Icelandic musician who first blipped onto global radar screens at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, with his offbeat entry, "Think About Things". The song didn't quite grab the crown, but it did snag the hearts of millions across the globe due to its memorable melodies, choreography and the charmingly unique music video, directed by Guðný Rós Þórhallsdóttir. The video features Daði and his backing band, Gagnamagnið, in sleek turquoise sweaters and dorky yet endearing synchronised moves. The distinct visuals of the video, blending whimsy with style, immediately sets Daði Freyr apart in the industry.
Daði's songs, "Hvað með það?" and "Is This Love?" are also significant for their charmingly-thoughtful music videos. "Hvað með það?" features a story set in space with quirky comic book-styled visuals, while "Is This Love?" uses engaging neon visuals. What's admirable about Daði's music videos is how they pair with his music, complementing his synth-heavy pop beats and emotionally-charged lyrics with a matching visual tone. They have a way of embedding themselves in the minds of viewers, a feat which has contributed substantially to Daði's success and reputation.
And here's a quick, interesting tidbit: Daði actually stands six feet nine inches tall! This fact has no blatant connection to his musical prowess, but it sure adds to the overall fascination surrounding this enigmatic pop star. With his distinctive music style and creative music videos, Daði has left an indelible mark on the industry, whilst simultaneously redefining the perception of what Eurovision entries can look and sound like.
