Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir, better known by her stage name, Lay Low, is an Icelandic artist and singer.
Lovísa was born in 1982 in London to a Sri Lankan father and an Icelandic mother. She moved to Iceland at a young age where she has lived since. As a child she began taking piano lessons but started playing electric bass and guitar in her teens, and has since then played with numerous local bands. She joined the band Benny Crespo's Gang playing keyboards/synthesizers and guitar. It was then when she first started to use her voice.
Lay Low, the alter ego of Lovísa, started to evolve early in 2006. She was spotted by a local label, Cod Music, which contacted her and showed an interest in a raw demo song she had published on MySpace. Her music combines elements of blues, folk and country.
It was a rapid rise in the music scene for Lovísa. Just a few months after her discovery she released her debut album, Please Don't Hate Me, which sold gold only two months after its release. The following year she was nominated for four of the 2006 Icelandic Music Awards, and won two; Best female singer and best album cover. She was also voted by the nation trough phone election as the most popular artist of 2006.
