Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson (26 April 1977 – 29 September 2022), better known by his stage name Prins Póló, was an Icelandic singer-songwriter and experimental artist. He was also part of the Icelandic band Skakkamanage.[1]

The band made a comeback in 2014 with the album Sounds of Merrymaking with "Free From Love" released as a single from the latter album.
Being front man of the band, Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson also developed a solo career taking Prins Póló as an alter-ego for himself.[3]
Prins Póló sings about social issues with often quirky lyrics, catchy tunes and theatrics wearing various masks and head sets and trademark paper crowns designed for him and charismatic live performances. At times, performances are done with various Icelandic music formations like FM Belfast, Reykjavík! and Sudden Weather Change.[4] He released his EP Einn heima in 2009 followed by two studio albums Jukk (2010)[3] and Sorrí (2014).[5] In 2019, he released the albums Túrbó[6] and Falskar minningar.[7]
