Through her music, Laus explores the tender, expansive and often painful condition of being a human with feelings. Her rich instrumental textures, soaring but vulnerable vocals and heartbeat driven grooves carry the words that channel an innate desire to belong, both in the worlds in which we find ourselves, and the worlds that we find within.
Reminiscence, love lost, introspection, attention to the finer details, beauty in the mundane and a delicate sensitivity to her surroundings drive much of Laus' reflective songwriting.
An eclectic mix of soundscapes, Laus' musical creations include elements of spoken word, electronica, string ensembles, baritone ukulele, intimate piano, jazzy flute improvisations and percussive beats that take you on a journey through time, space and sound.
A regular on the Sofar Sounds Vancouver stage, the multi-instrumentalist loves nothing more than pouring her heart out to an audience, letting her adorkable personality shine, and connecting authentically with others. Laus' most recent performances include Khatsahlano Street Party 2023 (full band), the West 4th BIA Music In The Plaza series (duo), the Blind Pig Festival (duo/solo), and the Locals Lounge Showcase at Guilt & Company (full band).
Laus released her self-produced debut single, Egonovella, and it's official music video, in May 2022. The song marks a period of existential angst, a realisation of self-imposed limitations and the desire to be free of the above. After a busy 12 months of performing, writing, experimenting, developing, and producing, Laus is currently working on her next single - 'Biting My Nails' - to be released this August.
You can also catch Laus creating and performing sultry, soulful and sassy flute lines as part of other artists' projects, including Ebonempress and Teon Gibbs.
