He had some degree of chart success in the United Kingdom with his debut album 'How About That?' (2004) and appeared at Glastonbury Festival[2] in 2004.

His second album, Build-Ups And Break-Downs, was recently released on EMI.

Gisli has also produced and written songs for other artists, including Norwegian artist Anja Garbarek. Her album Briefly shaking was co-written/produced by Gisli and later picked up by French director Luc Besson for use in his movie Angel-A.

In addition to his solo and production career, Gisli is also a full-time member of the group Half Tiger.
