Brynjar was raised in KeflavÃÂk, a town in southwest Iceland. His brother is a pilot.
Brynjar has been in a relationship with musician Ragnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, who's also a touring member of Of Monsters and Men, since at least 2014. The two have a son named Hilmir Hrafn Brynjarsson.
Brynjar joined Nanna BryndÃÂs Hilmarsdóttir's solo project, Songbird in 2009. The project soon expanded with Ragnar ÃÂórhallsson and Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson joining. The band then entered the 2010 annual Icelandic music competition MúsÃÂktilraunir, which they won. The band eventually became Of Monsters and Men.
