Bilingual chanteuse, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and educator Laura Rae dances between languages and genres, sounding like Metric met Fleetwood Mac in a Folklore forest.
Since releasing her first single, Laura has been nominated for Music Nova Scotia’s New Artist Recording of the Year 2022 for "Didn't Know", Prix de l'Acadie 2023 for Chansons pour ma grand-mère, and has taken home bronze for Halifax The Coast Best Folk Artist 2022.
Her current project, ​Sad Songs, explores various genres, leaning into rock drums on songs like "Nothing Lasts Forever" and bowed stand-up bass on "House we called Home".
Her home studio, The Guest Room, is a 450 square foot, 2 room music studio and rehearsal space in Dartmouth, NS. Laura has nearly 3 decades of musical training, including classical piano, guitar, and flute. She holds a B.A. with a Minor in Music, a B.Ed in Secondary Music Education and a M.Ed focused in the Integration of Music in Second Language Instruction. In 2022, she was selected among hundreds of applicants to participate in SOCAN Foundation's Women Equity X Production Mentorship Program and has since produced two EPs and a full length album as well as various singles for Nova Scotian artists, namely Kristen Martell, Raymond Sewell and Amber d'Entremont.
