Laura Di & Alicia Ultan
OUR
BIO
Laura Di
Laura Di is a singer, songwriter, and classically trained guitarist. Her original acoustic compositions draw inspiration from a diverse range of musical styles, including R&B, pop, jazz, blues, and soul. Rather than confining her music to a specific genre, Laura focuses on creating pieces that resonate with her in the moment. After sharing her acoustic tunes in two private house concerts for friends and family, she made her public debut alongside her dear friend, singer-songwriter and violist Alicia Ultan, in August 2024.
Laura is currently working on a series of singles with John Wall at the Wall of Sound studio in Albuquerque. Her first single was released in June 2025 and she plans to release new singles each month, or as often as financially possible. John Wall describes working with Laura: ‘A gifted singer-songwriter with an enchanting voice and classically trained guitar skills, Laura infuses each composition with unique artistry and heartfelt storytelling. Working with her on her singles has been exhilarating and has confirmed her versatility and depth as an artist.’
Alicia Ultan
An award-winning singer-songwriter as well as a violist, Alicia Ultan has been performing and recording throughout Albuquerque since the early 2000’s, including with Roger Jameson and the Jaded Heart Band, the “twisted folk” duo, Charmed, with whom she performed for nine years and released two albums, and the popular multi award-winning Folk-Americana-Français group, Bébé La La, founded in 2010 by herself and vocalist/accordionist Maryse Lapierre. Ultan’s original songs have won numerous New Mexico Music awards and nominations, including from Bébé’s La La’s debut CD, High Wire, and from their 2022 release, A Curious Series of Unexpected Events. Her songs were described by music writer James Mahoney as “Wild – Alternative – Magic!” She also performed with the large improvisational ensemble, Out of Context, led by J.A. Deane, for many years and has added her viola to many NM artist’s recordings, including the award winning hONEyhoUSe, Nancy Rudolph and more.
