About Me

Native of Cameroon, a french and english-speaking country in Central Africa.Born in 1982 and singing for 14 years,Laura was a member of a gospel choir when in high school and passed a master in marketing and management in Paris, France in 2005; she has been attending some courses in Chicago since January 2007 in order to get an anglosaxon degree as well. Growing up on "NEW JACK SWING'' thanks to her Big brothers and cousin in the early nineties, her favorites were SWV, Portrait,Hi-Five,Brandy, H-town, Jodeci, Shanice, Guy, Bell Biv Devoe, TLC, Tony Toni Toné, Immature, Intro,Troop,New-Edition, Zhane, X-Scape and others.She also really appreciates soul music from the likes of Teddy Pendergrass,India.arie, Percy Sledge,Caldvin Richardson,Syleena Johnson. d'Angelo, Anthony Hamilton, Raphael Saadiq, Glenn Lewis,Jill Scott, Bilal...Because of the english language, which is a kind of barrier for her music in France,and being a songwritter, vocalist producer and singer,Laura is moving out to the United States to get more opportunities in the music industry .Indeed,English language gives her more inspiration.Now Laura, is trying to add from time to time a touch of her african origin to her music, while trying to find singers interested in performing over her songs and lyrics.She was used to peform in some clubs in Paris, and from time to time in London .She also got a chance to get up on stage in some venues in Baltimore and New york city .My dream is to share my music with all of you.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
