Laura Adeline’s musical journey began with songwriting on her bedroom floor at eleven years old, and while the action remains, the content has developed into a vibrant collection of fun, contemporary R&B pop tunes and a backlog of sold out gigs around Perth. Debuting with Perth band Jeeper at the Aardvark in 2022, the bar made the most money since Kevin Parker's album debut. Ever since, Laura has been guaranteed to bring in a crowd of loyal fans to any live performance, and give a show worth remembering. The best of Laura’s artistry lies in the personal stories and confessions she brings to her lyrics - using her music to say things she isn’t prepared to speak. Laura joins Owen, Linsey and Levey on the show to chat about her latest single "501s", her process and what 2025 holds for her!
