Book Lianne La Havas for colleges, corporate events, festivals, performing arts centers & private shows. Contact Degy Entertainment for booking info.
Lianne La Havas is a London singer and guitarist who writes at the meeting point of soul, folk, jazz and r&b. Her debut, Is Your Love Big Enough?, arrived in 2012 and set the pattern: a voice and an electric guitar carrying the song with very little between them. A Warner Bros. Records artist, she went deeper on Blood in 2015 and then pared everything back to the essentials on the self-titled Lianne La Havas in 2020, an album that reads as a summary of everything the first two were reaching for.
The blend was there before the records were. She was born Lianne Charlotte Barnes in London on 23 August 1989, the daughter of a Greek father and a Jamaican mother, and the two sides of that inheritance sit inside the phrasing rather than being announced by it.
Blood brought her a nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. She is also a natural in a room with no production to hide behind, as her NPR Tiny Desk performance made plain, and that is the version of her a buyer gets on stage. It makes her a strong live booking for college programming, corporate events, festival bills, performing arts center seasons and private engagements.
