Laura Dugmore is a singer songwriter born in Kent, bred in Hampshire and seduced by Devon where she now resides. She studied classical piano and cello from a young age then self taught the guitar with the later addition of singing.  She decided to explore alternative routes after taking a Gap Year travelling to South America. She then studied at Dartington College of Arts, where she focused on her singing and developing her songwriting craft.

Having graduated with a high 2:1 BA Hons in Music performance, Laura found herself in London, dipping her toes in the music scene, working with production company Friction (as a featured artist on 'Santiago Blues' released on a label in Spain), various bands and played cello for BBC 2 Young Chorister of the Year.

Laura now lives in the South West writing and performing with her band as well as enjoying the laid back lifestyle including surfing. Having just completed a successful tour which included the highlight of supporting Nick Harper, her music has been described as "charming folk/pop!" (Cavern Club) with the BBC quoting "She is certainly a natural when it comes to performing, she is completely at one with her music" after she performed twice on the BBC Devon Introducing show.
