“Larissa is a one-of-a-kind artist in two different ways. Firstly, she’s the first and only non Irish performing on the Irish folk music scene. And secondly, as a triple-threat entertainer who is a classically trained vocalist, who plays the piano, and who is a talented songwriter, combined with her drive, energy, and ambition, Larissa, simply by being herself, is a person and a performer to admire.”
“On Stage Larissa’s love of performing is very evident. She comes across as a full of confidence and regards of performing in front of an audience as one of the most special places in the world for her.”
“Larissa is a joyful spirit, consumed with her love of music”
