Laura Ellen is a Melbourne-based, alt-pop singer-songwriter with Tassie roots, known for her evocative, piano-driven melodies that blend elements of pop, soul, and folk. Drawing inspiration from iconic female songwriters like Maggie Rogers, Holly Humberstone, and Australia's own Meg Mac, Laura has a knack for blending introspective lyrics with unique soundscapes creating music that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
Her songs are born from her journey of self-discovery and offer an honest reflection of navigating life’s twists and turns through her 20s. With themes that touch on love, loss, and the struggles of modern life—from burnout to people-pleasing and the power of vulnerability—Laura's music resonates with listeners facing similar experiences who crave authenticity in today’s music landscape.
Well-versed in Melbourne’s vibrant music scene, Laura Ellen has spent years cultivating her craft and building connections, culminating in the launch of her solo project in June 2023. She’s performed at renowned venues like The Espy, Corner Hotel, Baxter’s Lot, and The Bergy Seltzer, debuting her original music in 2021. Her first single, People Pleaser, released in June 2023, received enthusiastic support from local radio and international playlists, building anticipation for her next release, Feels Like Home, set to drop this November 22.
Laura's live shows are a journey in themselves—intimate, raw, and deeply emotional, yet ultimately uplifting. Her performances linger in the hearts of her audiences, long after the final note has faded.
