Her angelic voice can be heard on the incredible Hed Kandi album Balearica Unplugged, where she was the featured vocalist for the entire album. The album deservedly charted straight in at No.4 in the UK iTunes Dance Album Charts. Championed by Jazz FM and described as ‘completely original’, her debut jazz album Off The Ground was signed immediately by Robin Millar CBE (Sade, Everything But The Girl, Randy Crawford). Described by the late iconic Humphrey Lyttleton (BBC Radio 2) as a ‘saxophonist with distinction’, She is also endorsed by Yanagisawa saxophones and Claude Lakey mouthpieces.
For the summer, Laura always returns to a place she now calls home; Ibiza, where she will be found entertaining the masses on the hedonistic island.
"Every now and then I attempt to change my mouthpiece in search of a new sound, and every time I always return to my Lakey. It gives me everything I need and desire from a mouthpiece. It is quite simply irreplaceable!"
