Bill Laurance

Bill Laurance is a jazz pianist recognised by peers and critics alike as an outstanding musician who has the ability to combine and cross genres within his compositions. Although he is based in America, Laurance was born in England and studied at the University of Leeds. He emerged into the public eye as a member of Snarky Puppy, the musicians' collective from Texas who have played with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Stanley Clarke and Snoop Dogg. It was with Snarky Puppy that Laurance won his Grammy Award when he featured on the band's 2014 track 'Something' which earned him an accolade for Best R&B Performance. Laurance launched his career as a solo artist later that year with the release of his critically-acclaimed album 'Flint'. This was quickly followed by 'Swift' which also received a very positive reception. Laurance has recorded two further albums, 'Aftersun' in 2016 and 'Cables' in 2019, the latter coinciding with the launch of his own record label Flint Music.
