My Bio

Australian-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Libby Lavella calls sunny Los Angeles home sweet home. Once described by the LA Times as “pop soul fusion,” Libby’s sound has since grown and morphed into something too difficult to box into any particular genre, falling somewhere on the planes of the vast wilderness that is indie pop, retrospective folk and singer/songwriter. Her follow-up to her debut, Sponge Brain has been out for a year and is entitled Sometime In Morning. Sometime In Morning received glowing reviews;

“evokes sympathetic lyrics mixed with soft instrumentation that will captivate listeners” – celebritycafe

“Delightfully uncatagorizable artist, Lavella is the kind of act that the machine keeps trumpeting it has found when it hasn’t” – midwest records

“Wispy piano, gentle guitars and a huge voice allow the ruminative Lavella to fit comfortably in the company Sarah MacLachlan and Beth
Orton” – retrolowfi.com

“A gifted vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist with an ear for soundscapes” – bullzeye.com

“Lavella is a pop songstress with  folk and world influence in abundance” – Movement Magazine

The next effort is in the works….and is soon to come. Some songs have already been produced by Dave Palmer, some by Libby herself, some by Michael Perfitt and more to come. There will also be some live tracks recorded at Largo. Her favourite home away from home.
