In 1976, Björk, then 11-years-old and studying classical piano and flute, sang Tina Charles's "I Love to Love" for a school recital. According to Wikipedia, "her teachers sent a recording of her singing the song to the RÚV radio station, which was then Iceland's only radio station.

Her self-titled début, Björk, was recorded when she was 11 years old and was released in Iceland in December 1977.
