I am Laura. I taught myself how to play the guitar 5/6 years ago. I took piano lessons ever since I was 4 and let go of it at the age of 13. I find nothing interesting in playing the piano. I don't spend most of the time creating something new, instead I'm playing pieces of music. I find it dull. I started picking up the guitar and strumming it. My dad had 2. After picking up the guitar, I find it very easy to play although the fingers hurt. I started playing songs at first and find that I learn new things everytime I do that. Now that I come to think of it, piano's exactly the same.. you play somebody's pieces and after you know better, you make your own. Well, guess piano isn't for me. So, here I am.. typing this crazy biography/introduction.
I started writing last year (2003). I couldn't believe myself when I finish up with a full stop. I created a song. Since then, I've been expressing myself through songs and it's amazing. Music will always be my hobby, my love. I hope to grow in the years to come, in singing, playing and writing.Have you performed in front of an audience?I went for a few open mic nites in a guitar center near me. Then recently, at school in a show called Holiday Extravaganza. The open mic nites were my first time and second time so I was nervous. As for holiday extravaganza, I wasn't shaking neither was I nervous so it went well. I love performing because it helps me build up my confident and overcoming my stage fright. I feel better everytime I perform.. whether it's good or bad.. at least, I have the guts to go up on stage and do it.
Your musical influences
I listened to different varieties of music ranging from dance to contemporary christian.What equipment do you use?
I have a Taylor 810 (this baby is beautiful and magnificent, I just love the sound of it). I also have an Epiphone EJ200 (I've written a good number of songs with this guitar so I'm definitely keeping it). I also have an electric guitar and an Alvarez. Both are great guitars too.Anything else?
Dare to Dream is what my mum always told me, so Dare to Dream.

i really like your vocals...hey Laura! I think your music is awesome. To know that you write and play your own music is really encouraging. Keep shining your light for God... Its so awesome to see you using your God given gifts for His glory. Btw, your songs sound nice and your voice is cool ;)Hey! You gotta upload newer songs, fool! I listen to your songs via myspace, but it'll be easier for me to listen it off here. Hurry, so then i can listen my ass off and drag your song up the chart.hey hon! I have finally heard the songs off your album "gods unfailing love" and I gotta say there's a lot of good stuff on there!
My favourite is "rain" and I was really shocked when I heard one of the songs because the intro was almost the same as my song "faith", which of course has a very different message than any of these songs of yours.
I love hearing how clear and good your voice is on these studio tracks - it eally shows there what an awesome singer you are.. and also the guitar picking is really good! I don't know when you made all these songs, but you're been good at picking for a long time.. you can't just be using your guitar pick there, you're using your fingers too, right? (cuz you've been saying you're finding it hard to just use your fingers and pick - which I find strange, cuz it's the other way around for me)
Anyways, I had a good listen. Thanks 4 some good music :)
