Is this what heaven sounds like?
Laufey is a 24-year-old, Los Angeles-based singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. 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 2022 Laufey was the most streamed jazz artist on Spotify, with 425 million streams across all platforms.
This is her beautiful new song "From the Start".
