Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

Hire Laufey
aka: Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir
GRAMMY award-winning Laufey (pronounced Loy-vay), an Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter, channels the spirit of a modern-day Ella Fitzgerald. Her musical journey began under the influence of her mother, a classical violinist, sparking Laufey‘s passion for music from an early age. Renowned for her voice, Laufey is equally talented as a pianist and cellist. Remarkably, she made her solo debut as a cellist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at just 15 years old.
In her debut EP, “Typical of Me” (2021), Laufey creates an intimate atmosphere across seven songs in a concise 21 minutes. Tracks like “Magnolia” and “I Wish You Love” showcase her delicate vocals, crafting an uninterruptible connection between the listener and the artist, offering moments of transcendent intimacy.

Throughout her debut project, Laufey effortlessly displays her love for jazz, notably through her skillful scatting. The standout track “Like the Movies” exudes timeless nostalgia, highlighted by a cinematic trumpet accompaniment that evokes a classic jazz and blues call-and-response dynamic.
“Typical of Me” established Laufey as a captivating artist, and she continues to make significant strides with her latest single, “Love Flew Away,” featuring Adam Melchor. “Adam has been one of my greatest musical idols in the past few years, so it’s an incredible honor to release this song with him. Writing with Adam was so much fun, and we found that we had similar experiences with the pain of long-distance love, which we ultimately wrote the song about,” Laufey shares. Melchor adds, “The first time I heard Laufey‘s voice, I instantly knew I needed to sing with her. She came to my house one day, and we just talked for about seven hours. By the end, we had discovered many commonalities in our relationships. I showed her an idea I had after leaving someone overseas, about how love sometimes feels like it flies away. She took the idea to the next level, and we knew it would be incredibly powerful as a duet.”
Laufey‘s music captivates listeners, including notable fans like Billie Eilish and her growing TikTok following. Her unique ability to blend different sounds and styles through a multigenerational lens is undeniable. Laufey‘s sublime vocals and contemporary take on jazz make her the perfect musical companion for the crisp chill of fall days.
Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, an Icelandic singer-songwriter, spent her childhood between Reykjavík and Washington, DC, where she became fluent in English.
Influenced by her mother, a classical violinist, she began playing piano and cello early on. However, it was her father’s collection of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday albums that resonated deeply with her.
Laufey explains, “Composers like Ravel and Chopin have definitely influenced me, but discovering the Great American Songbook and the works of George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers felt like finding a perfect blend of jazz and classical music that suited me.”
Captivated by lush arrangements and dreamy vocals, Laufey immersed herself in music. By her teenage years, she had already gained attention with a style that belied her age. She earned a prestigious Presidential Scholarship to Berklee College of Music and moved to Boston, where she began writing songs that combined sophisticated jazz melodies with slow-burning R&B grooves.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, unable to tour, Laufey performed a mix of original songs and vintage classics on Instagram and TikTok. Within a year, she amassed millions of likes, topped Icelandic radio charts with her debut single “Street by Street,” and gained support from artists like Billie Eilish and Willow Smith.
On February 4th, 2024, Laufey won her first Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
