Biography
23-year-old independent singer, songwriter, and producer Lauv resembles an auteur in his assemblage of electronic tones, airy beats, jazz-inspired guitars, and soulful vocalizations. After logging countless hours in his bedroom writing and producing, Lauv entered the prestigious Music Technology Program at NYU in 2012. Under the auspices that he’d “make music for other artists,” he passionately maintained a prolific output until penning “The Other” during 2014. “The Other” quietly took the internet by storm. Premiered on a friend’s blog as his first release under the name Lauv, the song virally lit up HypeMachine and eventually generated 100 million-plus Spotify streams.
Relocating to Los Angeles and signing a publishing deal with Prescription Songs, he co-wrote the gold-certified Top 5 smash “No Promises” by Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato as well as the Pitchfork-endorsed “Boys” for Charli XCX, among others. In the meantime, “I Like Me Better” became his second bona fide smash. It vaulted past the 200 million mark on Spotify, soaring to the Top 30 of the Global Chart and Top 5 on iTunes internationally. A mélange of plucky synth chords and a 90s-inspired drum break, the electrifying production snaps into a soulfully staccato refrain. “I Like Me better” comprises just one phase of Lauv’s debut playlist, I met you when I was 18. Collating all of his music and the 2017 single “Easy Love,” the project brings everything full circle as he confidently steps into new territory.
Live reviews
My friends and I have been obsessed with Lauv's stuff since January of this year with his EP and dang, he definitely impressed us live. I love his stage presence; I mean he even danced in the audience with us with one of his unreleased tracks!! You can tell he is really jamming and giving it his all, and you can hear it in his voice. Singing "Breathe" gave people goosebumps and as he dropped to his knees you could just feel the passion. He was also very kind and friendly when we chatted with him after and we got free stickers that will go directly on all of our hydroflasks hahahah excited for the next singles to come out and of course his debut album coming in 2017. Thanks for rocking our socks off!

Watched Lauv perform in Tokyo and was impressed by how high his vocal cords could go!
Not only does Lauv sing well, he also treats his audience well. Some of the fans at the back started pushing to the front, causing the fans at the front to be uncomfortable. Lauv noticed that and asked the fans to take a step back so that everyone's comfortable.
Noticing that the fans at the back were uable to enjoy the live performance of Lauv as the fans at the front, Lauv discreetly went to the back of the crowd and sang an entire song from that spot.
A genuinely nice person with amazing talent!

The show was spectacular! I loved every single minute of it. Lauv mentioned in the concert it was his first actual performance in an arena of that scale. It was flattering to know that I was able to witness his first big concert in Manila. His setlist was undeniably awesome and he did not leave a single minute boring. The concert was all in all a fantastic night and we all wanted more!

Lauv sounded so good live and so did his opener Charlotte Lawerence. His interactions with the crowd were good and you could tell that he was up there enjoying every minute of it. There were some chill moment and some hype one all around I would recommend to anyone to see him live. I’m already excited for his next tour!

It was really a lot of fun. I'm so glad I got the chance to see lauv live. He interacted a lot with the crowd made us laugh and even gave people bottles of water. Everyone seemed to have a really good time dancing around and singing along. He really gave everything on the stage. I would always go again.

Was so amazing- he was so personal with crowd yet the music was still so good. He got really emotional and his new song is beautiful. Would 100% recommend.
I was standing which was good as I managed to get quite close which was really cool. He is such a cute guy and he was so funny.

It was an amazing night and such a good show. Love the smallerish venue. Definitely would do it again and again. So if you have the chance to see him, go for it its definitely worth it! I traveled myself there from Germany just to see him and it was totally worth it
