Lavalu (1979) was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in The Netherlands. She starte piano lessons at the early age of four and was trained in classical music. She never had much interest in pop music untill she discovered Tori Amos, Björk and Radiohead. By then Lavalu was a late adolescent and found the inspiration to compose and write her own songs and lyrics.

Starting out as a singer/songwriter, top musicians started joining Lavalu on stage in 2005. Then her music changed... Lavalu can explode into fragments like a bomb with splinters of pop, jazz and trip-hop. Or implode with the deafening silence of an intimate ballad. Lavalu is energy!

"Like Björk she moves on the daring edge of pop, jazz and classical, with the confidence of a praised diva. One of The Netherlands greatest talents is born in Cleveland, Ohio, and is called Lavalu." Noordhollands Dagblad

"... Lavalu is blessed with one of the most outstanding voices of the Netherlands..." Noorderslag

"... Lavalu, one of the newest music sensations of The Netherlands..." VPRO 3voor12
