Amel Larrieux, an American singer-songwriter and soul artist, has gracefully navigated the intersections of neo-soul, jazz, and R&B since her emergence in the music scene during the mid-1990s. Initially captivating audiences as one-half of the duo Groove Theory, Larrieux's angelic voice and innovative approach to soul music led to her breakout as a solo artist. Her debut solo album, "Infinite Possibilities" (2000), not only solidified her stance in the neo-soul movement but also showcased her versatility as a songwriter and her ability to infuse jazz and soul with a modern sensibility.

Following the success of her debut, Larrieux continued to build a discography marked by depth and diversity. Albums like "Bravebird" and "Morning" exemplify her poetic lyricism and the effortless range of her voice, while "Lovely Standards" highlighted her respect and reinterpretation of jazz standards, proving her to be a sophisticated interpreter of classic songs. Through her more recent works, including "Ice Cream Everyday," Larrieux has continued to explore themes of love, growth, and social consciousness, resonating with a loyal fan base and garnering new listeners. Her evolution as an artist reflects a committed exploration of music's potential to heal, connect, and empower.
