Vi Vi Introduces Laura Boyle

Laura Boyle is a remarkable young lady with a huge passion to write and sing her own songs. Laura is only 16 living in London and sings and writes with such maturity its hard to believe how young she is. She started playing the guitar at the age of 15 after being inspired by seeing live shows from the likes of Laura Marling etc. Her music is very mellow full of feeling and emotion you can really feel what she is singing about. Shes fairly new to the soundcoud site but has gained tremendous support from fellow artists. As Souncloud is an easy way to share it makes it perfect for an independent artist like Laura to start paving a career in music.She discovered soundcloud by friends of hers who have used the site and recommended her to give it a go. I was astonished how talented this young lady was and im sure who ever ells listens to her tracks will agree with me. With dreams of writing her own EP and to tour Laura seems to be driven to get her music herd and enjoy the experience and the joy music brings to everyone. Laura's song with her close friend The Light Fantastic "Anyone But You" featured in the first "Vi Vi introduces" podcast/radio show. The show has seen her being listened to by more people. I asked Laura a few questions so we can get to know more about her!!!

Q1) Have you always seen your self making music ?

Ever since I was younger, I have always wanted to make music, but I didn't really play any instruments. So, only recently has it been something I could really see myself doing. So when I started playing the guitar just over a year ago, I started writing and ever since then, it's become such a huge part of my life.

Q2) What artists inspire you and why ?

Laura Marling is someone I really look up to. Especially because she wrote Alas I Cannot Swim at such a young age, as a young musician it's rather inspiring to see someone like Laura Marling be successful.

Q3) How have you found soundcloud ?

I think soundcloud is probably the easiest way to share music with everyone at the moment. It's all on one page, and they aren't overloaded with advertising. Also, as an artist, it's wonderful to be able to know who has listened to your music; I think soundcloud makes the whole experience of sharing your music more personal.

Q4) Where would you like to see your music take you ?

I would like to be able to tour; I think that would be an amazing experience. I would also love to release an EP, which I'm currently working on at the moment.

Q5) What’s your favourite song at the moment?

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan, so at the moment it's probably "Don't Think Twice It's Alright". Laura Marling also played a new song at the folk awards called "Flicker and Fail" which was just beautiful.

Q6) What made you want to create and write music ?

When I was about 14, I went to a lot of gigs. Seeing people play live really made me want to start writing my own music. Especially when I saw Laura Marling play for the first time in this beautiful church in Piccadilly. I've also been playing folk music since the age of 12, and I found the whole proccess of playing music with a group of people rather inspiring and it made me want to create something of my own.

Q7) Who would you most like to meet in the music world and why?


I'd love to sit down with Johnny Cash and have a chat with him. I did sit next to Johnny Flynn on a train once, which was lovely. I would also really like to meet First Aid Kit. They just write such beautiful music; it would be lovely to know what inspires them.

Now you know Laura Boyle a little bit more and i hope you enjoy her music. I see a bright future for this young artist and wish her all the best. I am sure we will be hearing a lot more from her.
Much Love From Me To You
