Laufey | Ambassador of jazz

Meet Laufey who excels in The Icelandic Art of Living.
What most people would call extraordinary, Icelanders call commonplace. Living at the edge of the world means meeting seemingly impossible challenges with optimism, joy and humour. Every day. That is what we call The Icelandic Art of Living.
The 23-year-old Icelandic-Chinese singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist grew up playing cello and piano, inspired by her violinist mother, and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s records.
