Multi award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter and pianist Laila Biali will perform in Smothers Theatre at 8 p.m. on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts.

Tickets, starting at $20 for adults and $10 for full-time Pepperdine students, are available now by calling (310) 506-4522 or visiting arts.pepperdine.edu.

"I'm thrilled to be debuting in gorgeous Malibu later this month!" said Laila Biali. "Join us for a fun and eclectic night of music-from jazzed up fan-requested pop hits to the Great American and Canadian Songbooks reimagined, original tunes and plenty of stories."

Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents. Her shimmering arrangements and lush voice have earned her a 2019 JUNO Award for "Vocal Jazz Album of the Year," and two-time placement on DownBeat Magazine's "Best Albums of the Year" list.

Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents from New York City's Carnegie Hall to Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, and supported international icon Sting. Biali's creativity and talent shines through in her songwriting and dazzling performances, earning her albums and concerts high praise. DownBeat Magazine highlighted her 2020 album Out of Dust's "stunning" production.
