About Dagfinn Olsen

Dagfinn Olsen, born in the capital city of Tórshavn in September 1967, has helped shape the islands' contemporary music scene through his skilled bass and guitar playing.

He has played with the popular band Dagfinn and Impulz, and later with Blandað Drops. His journey through the Faroese music landscape mirrors the islands themselves – moving from the bustling capital of Tórshavn, where he spent his early years, through the suburb of Hoyvík, and finally settling in the southern town of Vágur on Suðuroy Island.

When not performing, Dagfinn Olsen contributes to the local community as a teacher at the primary school in the town, making use of both his skills as a musician and communicator as he has also been a journalist for local media outlets for many years.
