“My favorite concert I’ve ever been to was Laufey’s “A Matter of Time Tour” at the United Center in downtown Chicago. It was truly beautiful to resonate with another woman of color that combines classical, jazz, and pop in her own music through both instrumental and vocal performance. Not only is she a thoughtful and genuine musician, but she spread positivity and love to her audience. That, I believe, is my personal mission as a musician.”
