A versatile musician, singer, songwriter, composer and performer based in Switzerland, Laure discovered the stage as a teenager with the rock band Skirt. Between 2008 and 2018, she performed extensively and recorded four albums under the name Kassette.
Her first loves were electric guitar and rock music, before she developed an interest in analog synthesizers, percussion and voice. She moves effortlessly from electric experimentation to acoustic intimacy.
She particularly enjoys collaborations across music, dance and performance projects. For example, she created a piece with choreographer Amina Abouelghar between Brussels and Cairo; she initiated the collective Berceuses with seven other musicians from French-speaking Switzerland; and she performs as part of the Big Eyes Trio with elie zoé and Sara Oswald.
Recognized for her artistic work, she has received several awards and residencies, including a Swiss Music Prize in 2018.
In 2021, she created a repertoire in French (her mother tongue) and Chaldean (the language of her Iraqi father). In 2023, she released an album featuring part of this repertoire, addressing themes such as memory, exile and transmission.
She mainly performs as a duo with drummer and singer Yann Hunziker, with whom she also explores Swiss folklore (patois and yodel).
Trained in psychology, she is deeply interested in inner transformation processes. She uses voice (Primitive Voice approach) and listening (Deep Listening training) as tools for exploration in one-on-one sessions. She also facilitates a support group for musicians and leads various workshops for young people and adults.
