A native of New York City's Lower East Side, Laura began studying the violin and piano at age seven and the guitar at age twelve. She attended the High school of Music and Art as a voice major, and earned a BA in Original Performance from Oberlin College. Laura's strong classical, jazz and gospel roots are evident in her versatile song writing style and musical virtuosity. Her songs combine smart, poetic lyrics with rich, soulful melodies that soar over funky and sometimes complex chordal arrangements. Infused with great passion and dramatic depth, Laura's performances are food for the intellect as well as the soul.
