American songwriter, singer, and pianist- Laura Nyro achieved considerable critical acclaim with her own recordings. Her style was a hybrid of New York pop, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, show tunes, rock and soul.
“I’m not interested in conventional limitations when it comes to my songwriting. For instance, I may bring a certain feminist perspective to my songwriting, because that’s how I see life. I’m interested in art, poetry, and music. As that kind of artist, I can do anything. I can say anything. It’s about self-expression. It knows no package - there’s no such thing. That’s what being an artist is.”
-Laura Nyro
