Early life Salka Sól was born in Reykjavík, Iceland but moved to Kópavogur when she was 7 years old. She never really found her place in Kópavogur and was bullied in school.

Despite starting acting at an early age, she once said in an interview that she never intended to become an actor when she was a child, but rather a teacher, like her mother. Although it was great fun knowing her father was one of the Icelandic voices of Toy Story and seeing him on TV in the annual New Year's Eve sketch show Áramótaskaupið.

When Salka Sól was in middle school, she joined the school band. In breaks, she would try out different instruments and teach herself to play them.

After college, she moved to London to study acting musicianship. She was the first Icelander to receive a bachelor's degree in that subject.

Salka Sól became an experienced voice actor (like her father) and has voiced Icelandic versions of films like The Lego Movie, Monsters, Inc., and Wreck-It Ralph.

In 2015, Salka Sól was one of four judges in the Icelandic version of The Voice. She was also involved in two productions on stage at the National Theater of Iceland.
