Gloria Laing is a New Zealand-born, London-based indie pop/folk artist whose music blends dreamy melancholy with fearless emotional honesty. Her songs invite listeners into a world of vivid lyricism and soaring, unforgettable melodies - stories that linger long after the final chorus.
At the heart of Gloria’s artistry is her lyric writing: an attempt to capture fleeting moments of feeling with intimacy and nuance. She began her journey recording songs on GarageBand with her iPhone and uploading them to SoundCloud, where her breakout single “Why Can’t I Have You” unexpectedly reached a global audience, amassing over 18 million streams.
After taking time away to study and travel, Gloria returned to music in 2024 with a renewed creative vision. Her comeback trilogy of singles has since earned over 750,000 Spotify streams and landed on key editorial playlists including Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Folk, EQUAL AU/NZ, New Music Friday AU/NZ, and Tapestry.
Now based in London, Gloria is building a growing audience across the UK, New Zealand, and beyond — with recent highlights including a feature in SPIN Magazine and airplay on Future Hits’ “Who Is Blank” radio show. With her upcoming project Cry For Me, Gloria Laing continues to carve out a space uniquely her own: unguarded, poetic, and achingly human.
