Laura Elliott / Chloe Southern

Laura Elliott is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter from a small suburb of upstate New York. Her thoughtful lyrics and soulful melodies bring strangers together into a room filled with similarity. Aided by her folk-influenced guitar melodies, Elliot’s songs voice a sad truth to the way she shares her stories on her 2022 debut project, People Pleaser.

“The more alone I feel in an experience, the more I know I need to write about it,” says Chloe Southern, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter and producer from Boulder, Colorado, now living in Brooklyn, New York. Leaving her footprint on neo-folk pop/rock, she focuses on intimate and honest writing. Southern hopes that when people listen to her music they feel understood, like they’re talking to their best friend. She just released her first EP, “Last Man on Earth.”
