A loving show. Laufey’s interaction with her fans is genuine. She really shows her appreciation. Her singing and total musical talent at the Albert Hall was a special experience.

Laufey Biography
Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is a 24-year-old, Los Angeles-based singer, composer, producer
and multi-instrumentalist whose jazz songs are about young love and self-discovery. Raised
between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, the Icelandic-Chinese
artist grew up playing cello as well as piano and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella
Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s record collection.
In 2020, while still a student at Berklee College of Music, Laufey released her debut single
“Street by Street,” which went on to top the Icelandic radio charts. Following the release of her
2021 Typical of Me EP, Laufey was named Best New Artist in Jazz and Blues at the Icelandic
Music Awards and hosted her own show on BBC Radio 3/BBC Sounds. Her debut full-length
Everything I Know About Love, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album
chart, and the lead single “Valentine” peaked at #1 on the Spotify Jazz Chart. In 2022 Laufey
was the most streamed jazz artist on Spotify, with 425 million streams across all platforms.
