Laura Lee is a Berlin-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and performer. She first gained international recognition as one half of the indie duo Gurr, touring with artists such as Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Kraftklub, and winning the IMPALA European Album of the Year Award in 2018. In 2020, she launched Laura Lee & The Jettes, combining indie rock, grunge textures, and krautpop influences into a distinct and personal sound. Their debut album Wasteland (2021) led to appearances on BBC 6 Music and NPR, a first US tour, and support shows for Beatsteaks, including two sold-out nights at Berlin’s Wuhlheide performed while Lee was eight months pregnant. Beyond her band work, Laura composed music for the ZDF film Nicht tot zu kriegen, contributed to productions at Schauspiel Leipzig, and appeared in the Vice documentary 6 Hours with Laura Lee. She is also part of the Keychange initiative. On September 5, 2025, Laura Lee & The Jettes released their second album Tough Love Paradigm (Unsolicited Advice / The Orchard / Sony Music), produced by Laura herself and mixed by Collin Dupuis (Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen) and Rhys Edwards (Ulrika Spacek). The album blends indie rock, post-punk, and emotional directness, exploring themes such as self-determination and motherhood. Recent highlights include SXSW, New Colossus Festival, NPR World Café, BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale Session, and support tours with Beatsteaks and Von Wegen Lisbeth.
