About
A native of South London, with Greek and Jamaican parents, La Havas began teaching herself to play piano, write songs, and sing at the age of seven. Her familyâs diverse taste was very influential, when she was a child, her grandparents babysat her often: âTheyâre from Jamaica, so when I was growing up I listened to a lot of religious reggaeâalmost hymns, but in a reggae styleâon cassettes. But at the same time my mother was listening to a lot of '80s and '90s Michael Jackson, and Mary J Blige, who I loved from a very early age. Plus India Arie, Jill Scott and The Fugeesâ.
Lianneâs biggest hits include âGreen and Goldâ, âUnstoppableâ, âGoneâ, as well as an incredible cover of Dionne Warwickâs âI Say a Little Prayerâ, and a show stopping Tiny Desk performance for NPR Music. Her catalogue also includes the albums âBloodâ and âIs Your Love Big Enoughâ
