Biografie
Stephan Stephensen aka President Bongo wears many hats, but likes to refer to himself as 'an emotional carpenter'. And the name is fitting: throughout his illustrious career, Bongo has built, tooled, shaped and reconstructed reality in a manner that has touched upon the emotional spheres of thousands, greatly increasing their quality of life and inner harmony in the process. President Bongo began properly mastering his craft as a founding member of the pioneering electronic band GusGus, which has steadily gone from strength to strength since forming in 1995. As GusGus has evolved and progressed through the years Bongo has remained a key element, making innumerable contributions to its ongoing success through his work, which has ranged from design, film & photography to singing, songwriting, and production.
President Bongo has his first solo album scheduled for release fall 2015 named "Serengeti".
Bongo also has an outlet in Gluteus Maximus & Adsr.
Gluteus Maximus is a project where he and collaborator Dj Margeir study the boundaries between music, weightlifting and physical improvisation. Indeed, physicality is integral to Bongo's work. An avid outdoorsman, he regularly treks across his native Iceland's desolate, treacherous and terrifyingly beautiful highlands. He has also developed an obsessive relationship with the world's vast oceans, which he crosses and explores in any sailboat as much as his free time allows.
Adsr could best be described as an experimental platform for ideas that could easily work as standalone pieces but is also thought as an ongoing journey. Here one can hear births of ideas that have been developped and shaped into other projects.
President Bongo owns and runs recordlabel Radio Bongo.
