Most notable for her renowned live performances with huge brands such as HedKandi, Ministry of Sound,
Space-Ibiza, Pacha, Café Del Mar and Cocoon, it is no surprise that Lovely Laura is the clubbing world's
most in demand saxophonist. To add to this, and under the personal invitation of Domenico Dolce
(Dolce &Gabbana), Laura has also regularly toured the world, performing at a wide range of their events such
as fashion show parties, boutique parties and even personal events.
With numerous influences including Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Cannonball Adderley, Herbie Hancock, Paul
Desmond, Joni Mitchell & Donny Hathaway, Laura's passion extends from electronic music to that of Jazz and
Soul, where, as a solo artist, Laura has enthralled thousands at arenas such as the O2, NEC, Manchester
Evening News Arena and Amsterdam Heineken Music Hall, supporting artists such as Take That,
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Stylistics and Candy Dulfer. It is therefore with great pride and
pleasure that Laura has managed to write, record and produce her debut jazz album
Off The Ground, which sees Laura deliver some spine-tingling vocals as well as the
soulful, jazzy, sexy saxophone that she has became so famed for. Along with her co-writer
Wayne Pollock (previously written/arranged for Corinne Bailey Rae, Martha Reeves
& Jaki Graham), Laura invites you to accompany her into this melting pot of ingenious
musicality that digs deep into her true roots, yet still with her own original style and
distinctive sound.
Baker Street (by the late Gerry Rafferty) was her first single from the forthcoming album
and as soon as the multi-platinum & award-winning producer, Robin Millar CBE (Sade,
Fine Young Cannibals, Randy Crawford, Everything But The Girl, Style Council)
heard the track, he immediately signed it and the album to his label NuJaz.
Described by the late Humphrey Lyttleton (BBC Radio 2) as a 'saxophonist with distinction'
and by the legendary saxophonist Gilad Atzmon as having 'the beauty and the beat',
Lovely Laura has also been recording with HedKandi and Tyrrell to become the featured vocalist
on their first ever Balearica Unplugged album released September 2011. She is also fully
endorsed by Yanagisawa saxophones and Rico reeds.
For the summer, Laura returns to a place she now calls home; Ibiza, where once again
she will be entertaining the masses in the famous super-clubs across the hedonistic island.
