Lauv Quotes

Ari Staprans Leff, known by his stage name Lauv, is an American musician. His debut EP, titled Lost in the Light, was released in 2015. He is best known for his singles "I Like Me Better", and "The Other".

Leff graduated from New York University, majoring in music technology. During his college years, Leff strayed from his intensely personal song-writing style and focused on writing and producing for other artists. But during his sophomore year, he stumbled upon an illuminating interview with Paul Simon, in which Simon described his song-writing approach as a process of uncovering his innermost buried feelings. The interview helped Leff to get in touch with the way he used to write.

Shortly after, Leff adopted the stage name Lauv, Latvian for 'lion' (lauva). This is a nod to his mother's heritage; his first name, Ari, meaning 'lion' in Hebrew; and to his own zodiac sign, Leo.

It was announced on September 4, 2017, that Leff would be joining Ed Sheeran as the supporting act on his Divide Tour in Asia. Several of Ed Sheeran's Asian tour dates had to be cancelled or rescheduled as a result of injuries sustained from a bicycle accident, but Leff went on to proceed with promotional tours in cities such as Manila, Philippines and Jakarta, Indonesia, officially kicking off the Divide tour with Ed Sheeran in Singapore on November 11, 2017.

Leff will embark on his first world tour 'I Met You When I Was 18.' beginning January 18, 2018 in Seattle, Washington. -Wikipedia
