Bubbi Morthens (full name Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens; born 6 June 1956) is an Icelandic singer and songwriter. Aside from a lengthy solo career, he has been a member of such Icelandic bands as Utangarðsmenn and Egó.

Personal life

Bubbi was born in Reykjavík to a Danish mother and a half-Norwegian, half-Icelandic father. Bubbi is a common nickname for Ásbjörn. He developed a strong addiction to cocaine and alcohol in his youth, and later in life he became an advocate for sobriety and addiction prevention. In 2018, he published the poetry book Rof about the sexual abuse he was a victim of as a child. In 1973 (at the age of 17), Bubbi became a migrant worker. In 2004, the documentary Blindsker about the life of Bubbi was released. In 2020, a musical based on the life of Bubbi, named Níu líf ("Nine Lives") was shown in Reykjavík City Theatre.
