Laura Hickli

Laura Hickli is an internationally touring progressive art pop songstress known for her tightly arranged dreamy soundscapes, exquisite vocals, evocative lyrics, and emotionally powerful performances. The classically trained pianist was homeschooled in a conspiracy-laden religious household where she honed her ability to reflect deeply felt emotions through dynamic, textured, and technical songwriting and production.

Hickli’s upcoming album series tells her compelling story of survival and human resilience after a serious motor vehicle accident on her 2023 tour left her with PTSD and a traumatic brain injury. Album Pt I, ‘dark secrets’, releases through Ba Da Bing Records (Sharon Van Etten, Beirut) this May, and offers an intimate, unfiltered expression of grief through captivating songwriting, vivid production, and readings from her diary around the crash.

Embarking on an expansive North American Tour this summer, including performances at Calgary’s Folk Music Festival and Sled Island, Hickli offers a fresh and inviting look at what life can be, while carrying the foundations of her spellbindingly intimate, yet explosive brand of dark process-music.
