About Laura

Laura’s lifelong relationship with music and sound has led to a multifaceted career in music composition and audio production.

Over the last decade, she has been commissioned by orchestras, choirs, film makers, radio stations, podcasters and songwriters to compose thought-provoking music and high-quality sound that connects. Her works have been performed at iconic venues, from the Royal Albert Hall and Wigmore Hall to Alexandra Palace Theatre and the 100 Club.

Her classical work has included the recent ‘Soundbath’ which was written for Tibetan percussion and orchestra, combining a fluid, improvised and intuitive eastern approach to music with the more structured and melodic Western tradition.

As a songwriter/lyricist she also collaborates with contemporary songwriters, cross-genre, as well as on her own material, with her debut album, ‘Possibilities’ being released in 2018.

Laura started her career as a BBC radio producer, producing ‘Desert Island Discs,’ aged 27. Her radio documentaries achieved seven Sony Awards. She pioneered a new style of documentary for BBC Radio 4 in the long running series,‘Jon Ronson On’, where she used music as a distinct narrative voice. This style soon flourished on radio and television.  Travelling the world, she worked alongside some of the UK’s most notable broadcasters such as Sir David Attenborough, Graham Norton, Sue Lawley, Spike Milligan, Danny Robbins, Nihal Arthanayake, Irma Kurtz, Jon Ronson, and Caitlin Moran. She made over 40 music documentaries and podcasts with music writer Pete Paphides. She later became a Sony Awards judge for 11 years and a judge for the World Media awards.

More recently she was asked to make a special audio feature for Tom Jones’s latest album ‘Surrounded by Time’ with Pete Paphides.
