Emilíana Torrini (born May 16, 1977) is an Icelandic singer, best known for her 1999 album ''Love in the Time of Science'' and for performing "Gollum's Song", during the ending credits of Peter Jackson's film ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers''.
==Early life==
Torrini grew up in Kópavogur, where, at the age of 7, she joined a choir as a soprano, until she went to opera school at the age of 15. In 1994, she became well-known in Iceland after winning the song competition of junior colleges in Iceland (''Icelandic: Söngkeppni framhaldsskólanna''), at the age of 17, singing "I Will Survive". Her father is Italian and her mother Icelandic. Because of name regulations in Iceland, her father Salvatore Torrini was forced by the ''Icelandic Name Committee'' to change his name to "Davíð Eiríksson", which also implied that Emilíana Torrini had to use the surname after her father in the traditional way; "Emilíana Torrini Davíðsdóttir". A few years later, the name regulations were changed . She grew up with her parents in Iceland. Her father owns and operates a well-known Italian restaurant in Iceland, where she once worked as a waitress. After playing a session of gigs in London, Torrini decided to stay and live there. She is heard in many songs referencing places around in London on the album Love In The Time of Science, including the song Unemployed In Summertime with the lyric 'Let's get drunk on Saturday, Walk on Primrose Hill until we lose our way'.Source: Wikipedia
