Hire: Laufey
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.
