I may be an actress, but I can’t fake how I feel. This sentiment encompasses all that is Laura Marano, and also serves as the title of her debut album. While she has portrayed a variety of characters on the big screen, Laura Marano's most raw form of self-expression can only be witnessed when she steps on the stage. The term “triple threat” is often thrown around with the assumption that one craft likely trumps the other, but Laura Marano has managed to strike a rare balance between all facets of her career, all while building a fan base that feels more like a family. From 2019 to 2022, Marano introduced fans to her true musical identity --and simultaneously her most personal conscience-- with her ME, YOU, and Us EP trilogy. Her music was met with overwhelming praise from music critics and tastemakers alike, with consistent support from MTV, Billboard, NME, Ones To Watch, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal & more. With the 2022 release of Netflix’s worldwide #1 film The Royal Treatment, starring and produced by Marano, she successfully bridged her acting and music worlds for the first time, landing prominent syncs of her Us chart-topping singles, “Dance With You” with Grey and “Worst Kind of Hurt” with Wrabel. She topped off a seminal year with her first headline tour, bringing her music to life and connecting with her global fandom with sold out meet & greets across the US. Marano entered LA’s entertainment industry at the tender age of five, appearing in legendary movies like Finding Nemo and Superbad. Her superstar potential was quickly actualized in her widely known role as singer/songwriter Ally in the Disney Channel hit series, Austin & Ally, winning awards like Favorite TV Actress at the Kids' Choice Awards and propelling her foray into music. While Laura’s emotive songwriting and deep connection with fans came naturally from day one, her early days in music were riddled with one-sided major label deals and a slow emergence of singer/songwriter Laura we know and love today. So what’s next for this true triple threat? Fans can expect an even deeper glimpse into her mind with the release of her debut album, unveiled on Sept. 15, diving into the pressures surrounding her multifaceted career, her lessons in love, and the inherent dichotomy between acting and singing. In true Laura fashion, 2023 also sees the release of Choose Love, an interactive Netflix romantic comedy featuring two original tracks. The possibilities are endless for Laura Marano, but one fact remains certain: she will never be acting in her music.
