Leah Dou, a Hong Kong-based singer-songwriter, kicks off the North American leg of her first world tour this month. Her Out Of The Loop Tour will stop in Los Angeles on February 27, New York City on March 1, and San Francisco on March 8.

Dou is a rising Mando/Cantopop musician who blends R&B, psychedelic rock, and electronica influences. She released her debut English album, STONE CAFÉ, in 2016, followed by another English album, Kids Only in 2017. Both are distinct and unconventional enough to defy the mainstream sound. 

In 2023, Dou released her first Chinese album, 春游 (Spring Outing), featuring the hit single “Monday,” a dreamy track about bubbly summertime love. “Languid,” “warm,” and “playful,” encapsulates her musical aesthetic. Leah Dou has captured a worldwide audience with her silky and ethereal voice that ebbs and flows above the atmospheric instrumentals. 

Beyond her music, Leah Dou is known for her androgynous fashion sense and striking face tattoo—an uncommon sight among Chinese celebrities. While she is recognized for her unique self-expression, perhaps most will know her as the daughter of superstar Faye Wong and Dou Wei (one of China’s most beloved rock musicians). The songstress began playing music at 14 years old and has made various film and TV appearances, so it’s no surprise that she has both acting chops and musical talent.

Leah Dou’s performances are a vibrant fusion of sound and visuals that shouldn’t be missed, so be sure to catch it when you still can! Tickets for Los Angeles are available through 99 Concerts and tickets for San Francisco are available through AXS. The New York City show, however, unfortunately sold out within the first few hours of going online.
