Laura Ainsworth

American retro jazz singer Laura Ainsworth specializes in giving Great American Songbook-era songs a new lease on life.

"GOLDFINGER," a drastic reworking of the James Bond film classic, was the lead single and video of YOU ASKED FOR IT, Laura's fourth studio album. It was followed by "Once Upon A Time," featuring moving animated visuals. Both available on YouTube and other streaming sites.

The album YOU ASKED FOR IT features familiar songs requested by Laura's fans, with her backup band recorded live in the studio in a late-night jam session style. The album received warm, vinyl-like mastering courtesy Grammy®-nominated engineer JESSICA THOMPSON (Erroll Garner "The Complete Concert By The Sea").

Laura’s performances have earned her critical acclaim and industry honors worldwide. She has been featured in Down Beat, Broadway World, Jazz Critique, CD Journal and more. Her appearance in two best-selling international compilations led to a successful tour of India and Dubai. In 2018, she was the recipient of an unprecedented three-award sweep of the AMG Heritage Awards for Female Vocalist, Album and Video of the Year. She has also won two Akademia Music Awards, one silver and three bronze Global Music Awards medals, four Clouzine International Music Awards, seven Josie Music Awards nominations and an AMG Awards nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year for "You Asked For It."
