Bio
Singer-songwriter Laura Comfort took the first steps into her musical career by touring the east coast of America with an a capella group, before being catapulted into the country’s national TV spotlight after winning a battle of the bands competition with her college pop group.
The New Yorker – who graduated from Harvard – later moved to London and served her time playing live with a band in the capital before her first major success as a solo artist, Let The Music Take Control - which went straight into the Top 10 of the club chart and Top 30 in the pop chart.
Her follow-up singles Can’t Get Enough, Addicted and Mountain matched this success – gaining rave reviews in the press and radio airplay all across the UK and Europe.
After success in the charts, Laura focused on writing more expressive, personal songs close to her heart. She said: “For me, writing songs is like putting music to poetry; it’s a cathartic process of self-discovery and expression. I try to reach my audience by creating songs that are thought-provoking and memorable at the same time.”
This resulted in Nature's Child her highly acclaimed acoustic pop album. Picking up the song Was It Me for their playlists, DJs across the UK were soon sharing Laura’s insightful lyrics and beautiful vocals with eager listeners.
Laura has recently hit the airwaves with A Better World, a catchy inspirational song from her much lauded children's album, Slimy Stew, now available from iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. Caring Laura is donating profits from CD sales and downloads to children's charities.
She said: “It is shocking so many children are abused or homeless. I would like to live in a world where all children have love and respect, are cared for and valued and I hope my songs will bring some joy into their lives and help give them a brighter future.”
Laura is currently working on a new Pop album scheduled for release in 2010 so stay tuned...
