Growing up in Colombia, Laura was surrounded by a family of music researchers and musicians and began merging different musical languages at a young age.

Her first album, "Llano en Blanco y Negro," received recognition and invitations to perform at important venues and events, as a representative of a new musical Colombian movement.
Laura's classical and traditional background of study, coupled with a scholarship, eventually led her to study jazz performance in New York followed by her Masters degree at the Florida International University in Miami.
