In 2008, Laura embarked on her journey as a guitar prodigy on YouTube, where she captivated millions of people with her fiery classic rock covers and blues-infused solos. Her talent and charisma quickly propelled her from viral sensation to a celebrated figure in the rock scene, earning widespread acclaim for her raw, retro-inspired sound.

Laura is exactly what she promises to be: a badass rock’n’roll lady who makes her guitar produce sounds that are about to shake the world in a ground-breaking fashion.

After stepping into the spotlight thanks to her own cover versions of blues and rock classics on YouTube (903K subscribers - 105 million views), Laura quickly became the guitarist and singer with the most views in the French rock music scene thanks to her amazing first two albums “Hard Blues Shot” (2017) and “Burning Bright” (2019).

Laura continued to evolve with her sound with authenticity and power. Her 2023 album “Head Above Water” received praise for its classic-meets-modern rock fusion. Without question, she is highly regarded as the rising female rock artist in Europe.

Now, with her new album “Trouble Coming”, she strips things back to reveal a more introspective, soulful side without losing the edge that made her stand out in the first place.

Recorded at ICP Studios in Brussels, the album features 11 fresh tracks, mixed and engineered by Jean-Marc Pelatan at Studio des Muses, with tracks mastered by multi-GRAMMY award-winning Ted Jensen (Eagles' Hotel California, Green Day's American Idiot, The Police' Synchronicity).

Pioneer of the guitar on the internet, Laura has led the way for many young guitarists and is now at the forefront of the current landscape of guitarists in France and beyond. From bedroom recordings of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama and the like, Laura uploaded the tracks on YouTube as early as 2008. From there she built a loyal following of half a million subscribers. Her re-interpretations of classic rock songs (that also feature her on the banjo, lap steel or bass) have reached more than 100 million viewers across the globe.

The multi-instrumentalist is one of the few artists who managed to break out of the virtual bubble and bring her musical highlighted life with her own band: After two albums released in 2017 and 2019 (Verycords/Warner) and having played the biggest, most prominent stages for rock music in France (Hellfest, Download Festival, Guitare en Scène, etc.), Laura Cox released her third studio album “Head Above Water” (2023), which highlighted a more personal take and a solid grasp on all things rock.

“Head Above Water” saw Laura re-inventing herself while revealing new facets of her musical talent. Recorded at the renowned ICP Studios in Brussels, and mastered by Ted Jensen (Eagles, The Rolling Stones, etc.), “Head Above Water” rocked the boat. In her riffs and solos, Laura masters both flow and precision and her playing clearly shows that this woman knows how to take a guitar apart. Blending classic rock with bluegrass elements in an unparalleled ease, Laura Cox once again illustrates that she will remain a driving force in a new generation of rock guitarists in the years to come.

Now, with her new album “Trouble Coming” slated for worldwide release on October 31, 2025, the best is yet to come. The new album features the singles No Need to Try Harder, title track single Trouble Coming, and the forthcoming single The Broken.

“Trouble Coming is out on 31st October and can be pre-ordered HERE.
