About Laura Izibor
Despite her youth, 19-year-old Laura Izibor, "the soul of
Ireland", is already being compared with American soul legends like
Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack and Candi Staton. Born and raised in
Dublin, Izibor started to play the piano at the age of thirteen and
two years later, in 2003, she won Ireland's national and
prestigious 2FM Song Contest. In 2006 she won the Irish Meteor
Awards (Ireland's Grammy Awards) "New Hope" category, making her
the first unreleased artist to ever win or be nominated. In 2007,
this talented singer-songwriter released her debut album Let the
Truth Be Told. From the outset, Izibor has attracted the attention
of musical giants and she often shares the stage with stars like
Jamie Cullum, Angie Stone and James Brown.
