This is an Icelandic name. The last name is a patronymic, not a family name; this person is properly referred to by the given name Daníel.

He has garnered widespread acclaim for his debut album, Processions (2010), with Time Out NY declaring that Bjarnason "create(s) a sound that comes eerily close to defining classical musics undefinable brave new world."[4]
