Laura Somerville is a classical pianist, a screen composer and a cinematic songwriter from Sydney, Australia. Her versatile musical style has been described as cinematic, reflective and ethereal -- verging on dark at times. However, through her experiences in film music, and by working to meet the varied briefs of multiple directors, she has had the opportunity to experiment in numerous genres and musical moods while keeping her artistic personality at the forefront.
Laura has a fondness for wide-open melodies with a filmic feel, and personal, introspective lyrics. Her classical background combined with her contemporary music degree, have allowed her to employ and combine an eclectic range of techniques from classical orchestration to modern synthesised soundscapes. She draws inspiration from a variety of musicians, including timeless composers like Chopin , the film music of Hans Zimmer, as well as the modern pop artists Coldplay, Florence and The Machine, and Adele.
