Here is the definitive breakdown of the languages spoken by the modern jazz-pop sensation. Laufey grew up between two worlds: Reykjavík, Iceland, and Washington, D.C. This unique upbringing gifted her fluency in three distinct languages. 1. English (Fluent / Primary Songwriting Language) Most of Laufey’s catalog—including hits like "From The Start" and "Valentine" —is written and performed in English. She possesses a transatlantic, crisp American accent when speaking and singing, a result of her time living in the U.S. and attending college at Berklee College of Music in Boston. 2. Icelandic (Native Tongue) Born in Reykjavík, Icelandic is Laufey’s mother tongue. While she rarely releases full songs in Icelandic, she has incorporated it into her work beautifully. Notably, her song "Ég veit þú kemur" (Icelandic for "I know you’re coming") is sung entirely in her native language. Fans often note that hearing her switch from English to Icelandic feels like entering a softer, more intimate dreamscape. 3. Mandarin Chinese (Conversational) Laufey’s mother is a Chinese classical violinist. During her childhood, Laufey spent significant time in China and attended school there. While she has admitted she is not academically native-level in writing complex characters, she is conversationally fluent in Mandarin. She has performed covers of Chinese pop classics (such as Teresa Teng’s "The Moon Represents My Heart" ) and often greets her Chinese fanbase in Mandarin. What about "Laufey" and Elvish? To clear up the myth: No, Laufey does not speak Elvish.
