About

Laura Hoogland is a Belgian singer-songwriter whose music defies easy categorization, blending folk intimacy with pop sensibilities and a touch of indie experimentation. Born and raised in the culturally rich region of Flanders, Hoogland’s early exposure to a diverse range of sounds—from traditional Flemish folk to contemporary pop—shaped her eclectic style. Her debut EP, *The Weight of Words*, introduced her as a storyteller with a knack for weaving raw emotion into her lyrics, earning comparisons to artists like Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell. What sets Hoogland apart is her ability to balance vulnerability with strength, a duality that resonates deeply with her growing fanbase. Her 2021 single, *Runaway*, became an anthem of self-discovery, its haunting melody and introspective lyrics striking a chord with listeners worldwide. Collaborations with artists like Belgian producer Xyomara have further expanded her sonic palette, adding electronic textures to her acoustic roots. Hoogland’s live performances are equally captivating, with her ethereal voice and magnetic stage presence creating an almost spiritual connection with her audience. As she prepares to release her debut full-length album, Hoogland continues to push boundaries, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and the human condition. With her fearless creativity and unwavering authenticity, Laura Hoogland is not just a musician—she’s a voice for a generation searching for meaning in a chaotic world.
