JAKARTA - Laufey is one of the performers on the first day of the Java Jazz Festival 2023 on Friday, June 2, 2023. Since it was first announced, his name has been anticipated as the most anticipated musician of his performance.

An hour and a half before performing, the queue for Sosro Hall's bottled Tea was already snaking with spectators looking to watch Laufey. The 24-year-old jazz musician took the stage right at 21.30 while being surprised by the audience that night.

With his guitar, Laufey sang Fragile accompanied by the audience. The screams have continued to echo since Laufey arrived on stage.

"I can't say anything. Hello, I'm Laufey. This is the busiest crowd I've ever seen, I'm shaking and I'm not usually nervous," Laufey said, stuttering to see the crowd.

"Because I grew up in a country with 315 thousand people, maybe it's like the whole population. Thank you for coming... oh my God! " he continued.

Then he performed Valentine's, a song that made his name even more popular after this song went viral on TikTok. In addition, he sang James, Beautiful Stanger, I Wish You Love, which of course made the audience sing that night.

"As you know I have a jazz background. And I've never seen a young audience singing jazz with me like this. Like a reality, thank you," he continued.

Laufey sang Let You Break My Heart Again, which was his collaboration with Philharmonia Orchestra. He also touched the piano for the first time followed by ANOTHER song belonging to Enroll Garner.

He also performed a song from his second album titled Promise. He revealed that the work was done and now he wants to bring it to the audience. On the sidelines of the stage, he took the time to take photos with the audience.

Laufey closed his appearance by singing his first song, Street by Street and Falling Behind.

"Jakarta, thank you very much! This is one special night in my life. I can't believe this happened, thank you for coming. Indonesia I love you. This may be a sign that I have to come back! " Laufey closed while waving at the audience.
