Laufey

RAH

GRAMMY-nominated composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey is coming to the Hall on Thursday 16 May.

Laufey's self-assured musicianship and deeply felt lyrics take the idea of "classic" music, whether it's slotted as classical or jazz - or even chart-topping pop - and humanise it, creating a deep-seated connection.

Los Angeles-based Laufey (pronounced lay-vay) was raised between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing. 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. In 2022, she released her debut full-length, Everything I Know About Love, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album chart, featuring the popular track “Valentine” that peaked at #1 on the Spotify Jazz Chart. Today, she has over 1 billion streams across all platforms and is the biggest streaming artist from
Iceland in the world.

Bewitched which was released in September, broke the record as the biggest debut for a jazz album on Spotify in history, and debuted at #2 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. Album Charts.

Laufey will be joined by special guest Matilda Mann.
