Unable to find any significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this unsourced BLP. Admitedly the subject's use of initials as a stagename and that the subject is not from an English speaking country made the search particularly difficult so I may have missed things.

 * Keep If you search under his actual name, you get quite a treasure trove. He's the subject of a bio by Einar Kárason (and collaborated with him on what may be his latest recording). According to the blog of a respected Icelandic publisher - Einar's main publisher - he's been nominated for a major prize twice, won the national music prize twice, and has 2 of his recordings on the national list of 100 best. I added some biographical details and references; searching on all the record titles that I didn't would presumably find additional usable refs. and a complete discography. (There's a Facebook page that I can't see.) In my judgement, the distinctions plus the heavy coverage suffice for notability. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing nomination per the sourcing and article improvement done by Yngvadottir, strong work. J04n(talk page) 21:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
