Elin is a Faroese singer/songwriter/composer, well-known in the Faroe Islands since the seventies. She is a soloist but has performed with several other artists from time to time – the co-work with Faroese composer/producer Kári Linderoth Jacobsen being the most well known, and also the co-work with the band Ad Libitum.
- In 1988 ELIN & KÁRI published their debut album NALJA – with five of ten tracks written and composed by Elin and the other five by Kári. These songs have been very well received and popular in the Faroes and still get a lot of airplay. One could rightfully claim they have become classics.

The album was a tribute to her mother and uncle, who both died of cancer.
