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 soul inspired music 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.
Nick Bollinger, Radio New Zealand:
"There's no question that LA Mitchell's Debut introduces a very talented and creative musician. The grooves, the singing, the whole production are really impressive… We'll be hearing a lot more of LA Mitchell."
Marty Blake, Waikato Times:
"Mitchell's album is beautifully presented and extremely well mastered… I found myself blissfully daydreaming." – ****1/2 (out of 5)
Vicki Anderson, The Christchurch Press:
"Her unique voice insinuates itself into your heart."
Simon Sweetman, North & South:
"Here's a nice surprise… Debut never tries to be anything more than it is: a nice batch of songs from a fresh young talent."
Marty Duda, Real Groove:
"It's difficult to listen to LA Mitchell and not compare her to Hollie Smith. Both are New Zealanders blessed with a beautiful voice and a love of R&B and jazz."
Groove Guide:
"She has perfect diction and near perfect pitch. Her touch is light and deft. Her original songs compliment her voice, the band and her piano."
