'So sometimes life can get really scary. You hope and you pray and you work hard and you think maybe you’re doing all the right things but still, it can get scary. I’ve accumulated a lot of dreams and every time one of them comes true I remember to stay away from feeling afraid and to focus on all that is good and all that I am grateful for...' ~Laura Jansen
Laura Jansen is a Dutch-American singer-songwriter. She began her career as a frequent performer at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, before bringing her talents to her home country, The Netherlands.
Think Regina Spektor meets Chantal Kreviasuk meets Sarah Slean meets Lily Allen.
On her background...Laura describes it as this..."Jeez, that would be a long story. It would have lots of twists, sordid characters, love scenes, car chases and product placements. The lead character would be played by someone who looks like me but taller."
