London, UK

Gabriella Di Laccio Biography

Gabriella Di Laccio MBE is a multi-award-winning classical singer, recording artist and TED speaker whose career has taken her from the concert stage to becoming an internationally recognized voice for cultural change. Named by BBC World as one of the 100 most inspiring and influential women in the world, appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by King Charles III for services to music and gender equality, and a Guinness World Record breaker, Di Laccio brings together a combination rarely found on one stage: accomplished musical performance, compelling storytelling, original research and proven cultural leadership.

At the heart of her work is a powerful belief: beauty can change people more deeply than persuasion. As founder of Donne – Women in Music, Di Laccio turned a discovery about the absence of women from music history into an international cultural mission, building one of the world's largest resources dedicated to women composers and pioneering research that now informs conversations across the global music sector. Her work explores how creativity can become a force for change - how we find our voice, how unexpected purpose emerges, and how the choices we make today shape what future generations inherit.

Her own story began with one ambition: to sing. Di Laccio came from Brazil to London to pursue a career in classical music, never imagining that following her voice would eventually lead her to build an international movement and take her ideas to TED. That unexpected journey now informs her talks on purpose, creativity and women's leadership, including The Mission You Didn't Know Was Yours: an exploration of what happens when something you discover becomes impossible to ignore - and how using more of who you already are can become the beginning of extraordinary change.

On stage, Di Laccio can speak, sing -or bring both worlds together. She can be booked for keynotes, concerts and private performances, as well as distinctive keynote-performance and lecture-recital experiences combining storytelling, ideas and live music. Featured by BBC World, The Guardian, Gramophone, Forbes Brazil and Classical Music Magazine, Di Laccio offers audiences something beyond the conventional keynote: the opportunity not simply to hear an idea, but to experience it - and remember how it made them feel.
