New York City FC’s Gudmundur Thórarinsson is not just an athlete, but a singer as well. He is using music to inspire fans during the pandemic.
When Gudmundur Thórarinsson first came to New York City FC, many of his teammates did not realize they were getting more than a fellow player. Born in Iceland, he is a singer in his homeland and competed in Iceland’s annual Songvakeppnin competition, which ‘determines their representative for the Eurovision Song Contest’. But before the season started, his singing talent came to light during his initiation.
