Back in 2008, San Diegan Laura Roppé introduced herself to the musical world with the release of her first album, “Girl Like This.” Within weeks of Laura’s music debut, however, she learned she had triple negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease, and immediately underwent grueling treatments, even as her album claimed an award for song of the year award at the Los Angeles Music Awards.

In early 2011, Laura released her sophomore album, “I’m Still Here,” a “brilliant and emotionally naked artistic turn” (according to influential music blogger, Wildy’s World). Laura’s new music found a home on BBC radio, and Billboard Magazine ranked Laura as No. 3 on its chart of the Top 50 emerging artists in the world. Respected UK music magazine, Maverick Magazine, has raved that “I’m Still Here” is a five-star, “must-have” album.

Laura’s quirky style and sense of humor have drawn Youtube fans, as well. Her music video for “I’m Still Here” has 1 million views and several Youtube Honors, including Top 12 most watched video in entertainment and 31st most watched overall. The video for her bucket list song, “George Clooney,” garnered Youtube Honors in Canada, Australia, Spain, India, Japan, France, and Germany, and her video for “Heart Inside Your Palm” amassed 250,000+ views in five days.
Also, look for Laura’s funny and poignant memoir, Rocking the Pink, which will be released in Spring 2012 through Seal Press, a division of Perseus Books (Publisher of the Year in 2007), at all major book retailers.
