Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is an LA-based singer, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose transportive jazz songs about young love and self-discovery are filled with wonder and wanderlust. Raised between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, she grew up playing cello and piano, later becoming hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s record collection.
In 2020, she released her debut single “Street by Street,” which landed on top of the Icelandic radio charts. Following the release of her 2021 Typical of Me EP, she 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 2022 debut full-length, Everything I Know About Love, reached #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album chart, and she was the most streamed jazz artist on Spotify that year. With over 800M total career streams to date, Laufey is also the biggest streaming artist from Iceland in the world.
