About Laura McRae

Bilingual chanteuse, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and educator Laura Rae dances between languages and genres, sounding like Metric met Fleetwood Mac in a Folklore forest. Since releasing her first single, Laura has been nominated for Music Nova Scotia’s New Artist Recording of the Year 2022 for "Didn't Know", Prix de l'Acadie 2023 for Chansons pour ma grand-mère, and has taken home bronze for Halifax The Coast Best Folk Artist 2022. Her current project, Sad Songs, explores various genres, leaning into rock drums on songs like "Nothing Lasts Forever" and bowed stand-up bass on "House we called Home".

Laura's Experience

Working as a music teacher for 15 years gave me the confidence to start producing music for others – and now it’s one of my biggest passions. I’ve worked with artists from Halifax to LA, producing vocals to full albums, enjoying every minute of the challenge. My goal when you come into my studio is that you feel valued, that your ideas are heard, and that you leave with a song you are proud of.
