MIKAEL MÁNI

Hi, I’m Mikael.
I’m a guitarist and composer from Iceland, working primarily with instrumental music.

My writing is driven by atmosphere, melody, and narrative flow. I’m interested in how music can carry moods, memories, and inner landscapes, telling stories without words.

I grew up surrounded by records. My father owned a record shop and label, so listening was part of daily life from early on. I started with classical piano, but the guitar soon became my main voice and has shaped my musical path ever since.

Over the years, my work has developed across solo projects and ensemble settings, studio recordings and live performances. On this channel I share that ongoing work: official releases, visual pieces, live videos, and sessions... different formats of the same musical language.

This space reflects my practice as it is today: focused, evolving, and rooted in long-form listening.
