The sky’s the limit for this young talent and she comes highly recommended.
Lianne La Havas has packed in an entire career’s worth of success in her first album campaign, but there is no chance she’s peaked early. Since then, La Havas has worked with everyone from Alt-J to Prince and performed an acclaimed set at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival. Her debut album came out in April 2012 and was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number four on the album chart and was certified Silver before the year was out. The E.P was enough to secure her a slot on Later… With Jools Holland, where her fellow guest on the show Bon Iver took such a liking to her sound that he had her open for him on his December 2011 tour of the United States. Wisely, she spent two years honing her songwriting skills before debuting in October 2011 with her debut E.P “Lost And Found”. By the time she finished the tour her demos had circulated and by 2010, she had signed a development deal with Warner Bros. Soon after she recorded them, she dropped out of college to pursue music full time, and joined Faith on one of her first headlining tours of the U.K singing backing vocals for her. He introduced her to the up and coming singer Paloma Faith and the musicians that would later help her record her first demos. By the time she was eleven, she was writing her own songs on the instrument and soon enough, music was all that she wanted to do with her life.īy the time she was 18 her father was teaching her the basics of guitar, and while she was studying at sixth form she struck up a friendship with fellow singer-songwriter called Adam Rose. Blige and Jill Scott while her multi-instrumentalist father taught her the basics of the piano. Music was one of the very few constants in her life, with her mother playing her the likes of Mary J. Most of her childhood was spent with her grandparents before she hit her teenage years and moved between her mother and father’s places in Tooting and Streatham. Born Lianne Barnes in London to a Greek father and a Jamaican mother who separated when she was very young, Lianne La Havas spent the majority of her childhood all over the place.
