Laura Sheeran is a Dublin based musician, composer and artist who also works with film and theatre. Her reputation and following have been growing steadily since she started her solo music project in 2005.

Laura was born in Galway, Ireland in 1987. While at school she joined the choir and orchestra (playing the flute), studying both music and art for her Leaving Certificate. At the age of 15, her voice came to the attention of a family friend, Clodagh Simonds (Mellow Candle, Mike Oldfield, Fovea Hex, etc.), who was looking for someone to sing harmony vocals on material from her new group project, Fovea Hex.

Laura subsequently worked on all three Fovea Hex EPs which constituted the Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent series that were released between 2005 and 2008. She peformed live with Fovea Hex during 2008 in France, Italy, Spain, Austria and at the Electric Picnic, which to date has been Fovea Hex's only appearance in Ireland. Most recently, Laura can be heard on This Is Where We Used to Sing, a Fovea Hex album released in 2011. Michael Begg, a core member of Fovea Hex who performs his own material under the name Human Greed, asked Laura to compose and sing some vocals for his 2011 release Fortress Longing: the internal campaign for the safe and complete return of the sleeping egyptian to the desert.

Most of Laura's creative energies are directed into her own work. .
