Possessing a bright clear voice that combines the vulnerability of a young girl with the intelligence and resilience of a grown woman, Laura Cantrell burst onto the international music scene in 2000 with a debut album that showcased her affecting vocals, literate songwriting, and superb taste in musicians and fellow songwriters. Cantrell, however, had followed a rather unusual path to become one of the new favorites of Americana -- she moved from her home in Tennessee to New York City, studied law and accounting in college, and juggles a career in finance with her busy sidelines as a musician and disc jockey.
Laura Cantrell was born and raised in Nashville, TN; her father was a lawyer (in time, he earned a seat with the Tennessee Court of Appeals), and she initially intended to follow suit.
