Biography
Már Halldór Stefánsson was born in Reykjavik (Iceland) he has been a musician since childhood, when he gave his first steps in Iceland. But he wasn't dedicated to the battery, or the piano, as his mother wanted: it was the guitar that he fell in love. He has played in all its forms, but thoroughly study its classical version.
