Biography:
Laura Jansen (born on March 4 1977 in Breda, Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands,) is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and pianist. Chronicles those little things, like cutting her hair, buying pink floral sheets, and venturing out for a drink with the guy down the hall, on her debut album Bells, a dreamy collection of piano-driven alt-pop songs with lush arrangements and intimate, intelligent lyrics reflecting the thoughts and hopes of an independent girl alone in the world.
