[1] Being an admirer of Elvis Presley, Megas welcomed the arrival of rock & roll to Iceland by 1956, although his interest in music had to be postponed while he attended grammar school in 1960.

While he was young, he studied piano and explored the Arts: he painted, wrote short stories for his school, and published the sheet music and lyrics to 14 songs by 1968, many of which would be released on his first records.

However, in 1972, Icelandic students in Oslo, Norway helped him release his first album, in which satiric lyrics were accompanied by a mild acoustic music played by Norwegian folk musicians.

This work caused controversy and his music was banned by the Icelandic national radio, but Megas grew a cult following in the growing alternative scene.

his complete discography up to 1990 was reissued in 2002, remastered and with bonus tracks.More recently, he joined Súkkat to create a new project called "Megasukk" and released Hús Datt, their debut album in 2005.

And they tell us the story of Megas, who ridiculed the sacred Sagas of the land, wrote scathing, surreal lyrics, got heavily into booze and drugs, was barred from radio and shunned by society.
