Classically trained, with a background in jazz, soul and gospel, Laura Mvula emerged from Kings Heath, Birmingham in 2012 with her first EP, 'She'. The following year her debut album, 'Sing To The Moon', dropped to enthusiastic reviews; earning two MOBO awards (plus nominations for both the Mercury Prize and two Brits) and going gold.
Preceded by Laura’s most popular single, ‘Green Garden’, a hymn to her west midlands home, 'Sing To the Moon' was described in The Guardian as "Gospeldelia", a genre unto itself, which may have been a small exaggeration but speaks to the album’s ambition, inventive arrangements and striking originality.
