We meet Laura Doggett, the girl from bath who has gone from singing songs from the musical \u2018Wicked\u2019 to getting set to perform at the Royal Albert Hall secret space this week<\/p>\n

\"Laura<\/a><\/p>\n

Every once in a while an artist with a mesmerizingly distinctive voice appears that stops you in your tracks; hailing from Bath, songstress Laura Doggett is just that. After releasing Sohn produced track \u2018Phoenix\u2019 back in July to an unprecedented reaction and a legion of new fans, Laura has been working away on her debut album, supporting John Newman on his UK tour, prepping for a secret gig at the Royal Albert Hall and filming a video for her latest track \u2018Moonshine\u2019 – out on the 10th<\/sup> November.<\/p>\n

You had a phenomenal immediate response to \u2018Phoenix\u2019. <\/b>W<\/b>hat was going through your mind when writing the track? What did you want to convey?<\/b><\/p>\n

Phoenix was written about how we all change instinctively to become what life requires of us.
\nI feel like I\u2019ve grown into a stronger version of myself as a result of realising what I need to become in order to achieve my dreams in music. Music and writing is like another instinct – it changes me; the way I see the world and listen to what\u2019s going on around me. I\u2019m vulnerable as I’m allowing myself to be seen at my most transparent in order to then flourish. It\u2019s saying to people that it\u2019s not what\u2019s on the outside that counts, but what\u2019s on the inside – \u201cI burn, so you can see my ghost\u201d.
\nWe have to strip ourselves down to our most vulnerable states so we can learn who we really are – and show people our souls – only then can we begin to build ourselves back up again and become strong.<\/p>\n

What was it like working with Sohn, what did you take from the experience and do you have any plans to work with him in the future?<\/b><\/p>\n

Sohn is a genius; he’s a lovely guy, with a strong knowledge of who he is and how he wants to be perceived. I learnt from him to be choosy with words – only say what is necessary and remember to breathe. We’ll definitely be keeping in contact and who knows what the future holds?<\/p>\n
