Elín Hall to Perform at NXNE
Toronto, Canada — March 2025 — GLITSKÝ is proud to announce that Elín Hall will perform at NXNE (North by Northeast) 2025. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, NXNE runs June 11–15, 2025, bringing together hundreds of emerging artists from around the world alongside conferences, showcases, and industry events across Toronto.
Taking place in Canada's largest city, NXNE has established itself as one of North America's leading discovery festivals, welcoming music fans and industry professionals each year to experience the next generation of international talent.
In addition to her official showcase performance, Elín will also participate in an industry panel exploring international artist development, where she will discuss the making of her forthcoming English-language album. The conversation will focus on her songwriting and recording process in London, the experience of collaborating internationally, and the journey of bringing Icelandic artistry to a global audience.
Elín Hall creates cinematic, emotionally driven pop built around atmosphere, storytelling, and a voice that feels instantly recognisable. Her music explores identity, relationships, and the complexities of being seen by others—blending vulnerability with a powerful sense of artistic vision.
Following the success of her Icelandic debut album heyrist í mér?, which earned critical acclaim and Album of the Year recognition at the Reykjavík Grapevine Awards, Elín has begun expanding her work internationally through English-language releases and performances across Europe. Her latest single, "Tachylite,"—co-written with UK artist Jamie Woon—marks a new chapter in her international journey and has received support from more than 70 radio stations across the UK, introducing her music to an ever-growing international audience.
Alongside her music career, Elín Hall is an award-winning actress, recognised internationally for her leading role in the film When the Light Breaks, further highlighting the cinematic storytelling that runs throughout her creative work.
Her appearance at NXNE—including both her showcase performance and conference participation—marks another important milestone in her international career, introducing her music to North American audiences while offering industry professionals a closer look at the creative process behind her forthcoming international releases.
