Laufey Lin Jónsdóttir, known mononymously as Laufey, is an Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter and cellist whose music intertwines the timeless allure of jazz standards with a refreshing twist of modern pop sensibilities. Born on August 28, 1999, in Reykjavik, Iceland, she grew up in a musically-inclined household, which fostered her deep love for music from a very young age. Laufey's classical training and inherent understanding of the jazz genre are evident in her elegant compositions and soul-stirring vocal performances.

Laufey's rise in the music scene has been marked by a series of warmly received releases that showcase her talents both as a vocalist and a composer. Her catalog includes the festive "Spotify Singles Holiday" and the charming "Christmas With You," which add a cozy, vintage feel to the holiday music landscape. Her EP, "A Very Laufey Holiday!" is a testament to her ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary charm. Meanwhile, her singles like "A Night To Remember" and "Bewitched" exude a romantic jazz ambience, and "Everything I Know About Love" encapsulates her introspective lyricism. With performances like "Valentine (Live at The Symphony)," Laufey has also demonstrated the power of her music in a live orchestral setting, further establishing her as an artist with a unique and engaging sound that resonates with audiences across generations.
