Eva Lazarus

Eva Lazarus is best known for the expert navigation of musical moods through her larger-than-life vocals. Truthfully though, her trajectory is more nuanced than most ‘multi-genre’ artists.Eva certainly finds joy in dexterity, spontaneity, and experimentation. She just never felt satisfied expressing herself via any one single genre. Shifting the momentum when a crowd or session demands it is the precise sweet spot in which she thrives, and while the results are often kaleidoscopic (and completely delicious when plated up correctly), Eva recognises the need for continuity when delivering entire album works. Subsequently, she is entering into a new chapter on her creative quest, one driven by career-defining sounds.
