Jon Kjell Seljeseth

Jon Kjell Seljeseth, a Norwegian who moved to Iceland in 1980, conducted two Icelandic Eurovision entries: Stjórnin’s ‘Eit lag enn’, which finished fourth in 1990 – the best result of a song from the Nordic island until the language rule was abolished in ’99 – and his own composition ‘Þá veistu svarið’, performed by Inga, which managed to obtain a thirteenth spot in the contest held in Millstreet (1993). Moreover, Seljeseth co-arranged three other Icelandic festival efforts: ‘Gleðibankinn’ (1986), ‘Hægt og hljótt’ (1987), and ‘Nei eða já’ (1992).
