Björk, de son nom complet Björk Guðmundsdóttir (/ˈpjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtoʊhtɪr/ ), est une musicienne, chanteuse, auteure-compositrice-interprète et actrice islandaise née le 21 novembre 1965 à Reykjavik. Il est difficile de la faire entrer dans une catégorie musicale précise : électro-pop, pop underground, pop expérimentale, trip hop ou indépendant sont autant de qualificatifs qui peuvent lui être attribués. Elle-même considère son style profondément ancré dans la pop, même si elle a su en repousser les limites et y intégrer de nombreuses influences, dont le punk de ses débuts ou encore le jazz. Plusieurs albums de Björk ont atteint le top 20 de l'US Billboard 200. En 2019, son total de disques vendus à travers le monde était estimé à plus de 20 millions. Trente-et-un de ses singles ont atteint le top 40 dans les différents pays, dont vingt-deux rien qu'en Angleterre, à l'instar de titres comme It's Oh So Quiet, Hyperballad, Venus as a Boy ou encore Bachelorette. Ses différentes distinctions récoltées au cours de sa carrière incluent l'ordre du Faucon, l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres, cinq Brit Awards et quinze nominations aux Grammy Awards. Par ailleurs, elle fait partie de la liste du Time 100 des cent personnalités les plus influentes au monde en 2015. Cette même année, elle fait l'objet d'une rétrospective au Museum of Modern Art de New York.
