Singer-songwriter Laura Jean has released six widely acclaimed albums. Her most recent, Amateurs, is a pulsing examination of what it is to be an artist working in Australia today. As well as making music and touring, she also works for a film financing company and studies Arts/Law at the University of NSW.
In this interview, Laura Jean describes how she nurtures her 'three children': music, work and study, and how her working-class background influences how she regards herself as an artist – or an amateur.
For Laura Jean being an artist is not only about producing, it’s a way of life.
