At the ripe age of just 19 , she recorded her very first fulllength album . The album was received with great anticipation and sold well , and within years she penned her second record that subsequently earned her ‘ Best Pop Artist Of The Year ’ at the nationally acclaimed ‘ London Music Awards ’. The
release of her second album was followed up with a tour that at the same time kicked off her solo career . Laura now performs alongside Yuri in the role of Linda McCartney .
