ABOUT
Laura Mvula is a critically acclaimed songwriter, composer and recording artist.
Her 2013 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.
Touring extensively with headline shows across the UK, Europe, the US and Australia and festival appearances globally including at Glastonbury, Coachella, North Sea and New Orleans
Festival, Laura’s music has found fans worldwide and drawn the attention of idols such as Prince, Elton John and Nile Rodgers.
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 notably creating works for the BBC Proms and composing music including for RSC’s 2017 production of Anthony and Cleopatra and 2023 Netflix series Everything Now.
Laura’s most recent work as composer appears in Inua Ellams’ An Evening with an Immigrant and for the upcoming 2026 feature film The Queen of Fashion.
Drawing from her lived experiences and observations of life, Laura continues to offer an aural landscape that transports listeners to a world of her creation. A magnificent talent, there is no telling where she will take us next
