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 was born with music in my soul. I grew up with musician father and saw what an exciting life it was. It surely didn’t ’push me’ into it as I organically found my own way. The most amazing part of an artistic career is the people you meet and how different every experience is. I would go crazy doing the same thing over and over again with my personality!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am professional soulful singer-songwriter and musician. There is always a soulful undertone, no matter what genre I am singing in. Everything depends on my mood and where I am in life which translates to my music. I am ecstatic that my new album ‘Mannequin’ with So Bold Ent/Sony Orchard is already at 2 million streams! I have worked hard and continue to work hard every day of my life on my art. It’s truly amazing where art can take you. I am actually also featured in the Tribeca Film Featival selected movie ‘They’re Here’ !

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?
We would definitely hit all of the incredible vegan restaurants as I am a lifelong vegan and love sharing that. I would also bring them to every blues and jazz club and anywhere they are doing live art in motion!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d love to dedicate this to all the strong women out there!
