Laura Cahen is an upcoming singer-songwriter from Nancy in France, whose musical awakening began as part of a family of music lovers. She learnt to play the piano and the guitar when she was a child and subsequently began writing her own songs as a teenager. In her music, she blends modernity and tradition, using Pop, Trip Hop and Chanson elements, while creating songs influenced by a ‘positive’ melancholy, making people feel alive.

The multi-instrumentalist has been touring a lot in France as well as abroad, notably in Quebec, the United States, England, Norway and many times in Germany. Her first record «Nord», which was produced by Samy Osta (Feu! Chatterton, Rover,…) and released in February 2017, was unanimously praised. The record was presented during a tour of some 100 concerts including the renowned Printemps de Bourge and Francofolies. Laura Cahen is now pursuing her musical journey by exploring new sounds for her elegant and authentic indie pop in a whole-hearted modern impulse. Her second record is on its way.

Her appearance creates attention – not only triggered by the black stripe across her face. She is tough but vulnerable at the same time, seeking and likewise creating desire. Living in the present times is complicated, her war paint is not merely decoration – Laura Cahen really means it.
