Laura Mock
Laura Mock is a folk pop singer-songwriter based in New York City. Originally from Bangor, Maine, Laura feels a deep connection to the peace and electricity of the natural world. A friend once said, "Your music is too cool for cottagecore," and though she clings to the Wooded Ideal, she can't help but agree. Her lyrics are dazzlingly down to Earth with a poetry that is caustic - yet sincere.
Laura was classically trained in piano performance starting from age 6, so most of her songs begin there, if not fumbling on the guitar strings she watched Hozier tutorials to learn. She has sung her entire life, led performance groups throughout high school and college, and graduated from New York University in 2022 with a degree in Vocal Performance. Songwriting for Laura always begins with a combination; there is no separation of lyric and melody, instead they arrive to her pen in one piece. Studying with composition instructors Beata Hlavenkova and Joseph Church further clarified this instinct in Laura for lyrical and musical harmony.
Her first single "Landlocked" was released in June of 2023 with the help of producer Jason Sill, and is part of Laura's upcoming EP entitled "home//body", which is slated to be released on November 8th, 2024, after 2 years of production.
