Join us for our next LSE Chill of the Spring Term, featuring:
6.00 – 6.20pm Pooja
Pooja is a returning LSE Chill performer with a smooth voice and an engaging mode of expression. She has been writing music since she was 13 years old. For her, “music has never been just a hobby, and performing helps her to remember how much she loves expressing herself via art”. Pooja is a multi-talented person, who not only sings and writes her own songs, but also plays various musical instruments (acoustic guitar, ukulele, piano). At LSE Chill she will perform a mix of jazz/pop songs both on her acoustic guitar and the piano. Follow Pooja to find out more about her latest songs on Instagram @pooj.music, and on SoundCloud PoojMusic!
6.30 – 6.50pm Yaqing
Yaqing started composing when she was 15, inspired by the idea that she would love to play something of her own. She uses music as a way of expressing herself. The songs she delivers to the audience tell a story, based on real life experiences and her own feelings. Most of her pieces are piano solos, which contain simple and relaxing melodies with a beautiful sound. Her aim is to provoke emotions and ideas in her audience and to encourage people to see life in another, genuine way.
7.00 – 7.20pm Yann
Yann is an r’n’b/soul/gospel vocalist who has been singing pretty much his entire life. In his own words, “Growing up, music was always a part of me and it continues to help me in every walk of life”. His vocal inspirations: Prince, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and Ray Charles have largely influenced his style of singing. For LSE Chill he will be covering some of his favourite songs.

Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies, the annual LSE photo prize competition, the LSE Literary Festival and artist-in-residence projects.
