From Instagram DM to Söngvakeppnin stage: Birgo’s Journey with “Stormchaser” | Iceland 2025

In this exclusive interview, Birgo opens up about his journey to Söngvakeppnin 2025, Iceland’s national selection for Eurovision. He shares how his song Ég Flýg Í Storminn (Stormchaser) was born from deep conversations about mental health, resilience, and overcoming anxiety. Working alongside songwriter Shawn Mayers and Eurovision veteran Jonas Gladnikoff, Birgo crafted a track that’s both dramatic and empowering-urging listeners to stand their ground no matter the storm they face.
From narrowly missing out in previous years to finally making it to the Söngvakeppnin stage, Birgo reflects on the process, the emotions behind the song, and what it means to perform in Icelandic before transitioning to English for the grand final. Could Stormchaser be the anthem that takes Iceland to Eurovision 2025? Watch now to find out!
