Taxi drivers used to ask me what kind of music I did and I'd say, well, it's kind of jazz, soul, classical - but that makes no sense to anyone. Now I say I just write my own songs. I thought I had to help people get me, but I don't think they need to be spoon-fed. If you connect with me that is cool. I don't need the whole world to feel like I am a soul angel.
Laura MvulaI love church buildings, particularly cathedrals, and I like living in spaces that remind me of music or evoke that creative energy.
Laura MvulaLizz Wright is my favourite singer. Her voice moves me and takes me to another place. She also grows her own food and that inspires me.
Laura MvulaI respect hippos. They just look the way they do; they can't do anything about it, but they don't seem bothered.
