LA Mitchell (New Zealand)
Songstress L.A. Mitchell has been working tirelessly over the last couple of years. She opened for Stevie Wonder at both his New Zealand shows, supported Dave Dobbyn on his European tour and performs as keyboardist and vocalist in his touring band. She toured nationally as part of Fly My Pretties 3 and also manages to find time to be a member of rock band Dukes and collaborate with Sunshine Sound System and Oakley Grenell. In 2009 she was named first songwriter in residence for Auckland University. L.A. Mitchell’s meld of soul/jazz has been met with critical acclaim since the release of her first, self-produced album ‘Debut’. It was followed by a live recording with her six-piece band, Nativa, at Wellington’s iconic music venue, The Matterhorn, a release that showcases the spectacular power of her voice and polish of her live act.
