We had the good fortune of connecting with Laura Cheadle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laura, why did you pursue a creative career?
I am a dreamer since birth. We can blame that on my zodiac sign of Pisces 😉 I always knew I was meant to perform in any capacity. I was singing since the young age of 2 and grew up in a very musical family. I saw how beautiful a creative impact can be on your life and changing other people’s lives. We all need passion in our lives to feel seen and that we have something to strive for. I love writing and performing music. It’s in my soul!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a professional soul singer-songwriter. I combine many genres with a soulful undertone. I just released a new album ‘Mannequin’ that is nearing 2 million streams in one month! This was a four year project of writing every emotion. I am so grateful for all the love on this album. I have learned throughout my career that it’s very important to stay true to yourself. People will always try to change you but have the confidence to stick to your gut and what feels right. People love to see genuine art.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am a vegan so I would definitely take everyone to the vegan spots! I also would of course bring everyone to different music venues that showcase blues , jazz and more. I love to show a musical journey throughout the city.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d love to dedicate this to my father James , who produced my new album ‘Mannequin’
