Laura Mvula

Laura’s debut album Sing To The Moon introduced and firmly positioned her as one of Britain's most innovative talents whose distinctive sound continues to develop. Known for her ability to draw from multiple genres in order to create her own, Laura’s writing style and dexterity are underpinned by her Birmingham Conservatoire degree in composition.

The expansion of Laura’s sound is evident in her catalogue of work. On 2016’s The Dreaming Room, she built on her signature vocal layering and unexpected melodies with the addition of analogue synths and electric guitar lines and, in 2021, her ode to the 80s - Pink Noise, on which she revisits the pop, soul sounds she grew up listening to, elevated synths and intense funk grooves served the purpose of designing a flavoursome, timeless soundworld.

Along the way, Laura’s albums have picked up two Ivor Novello Awards for Best Album, two MOBOs and BRITs nods with all three of her albums being nominated for the Mercury Prize - a rare feat in the award’s history.

With both lyrical and musical composition at her disposal, Laura has performed with orchestras around the world and has composed and arranged for orchestral and choral groups, film and TV. For these special performances, we meet Laura where it all started - at the piano.
