Early life and family

Imbruglia's father is an Italian of Sicilian heritage and her mother Anglo-Australian. She grew up on the Central Coast. Among four daughters, Imbruglia is the youngest in her family; one of her elder sisters is pop-alternative singer and actress Natalie Imbruglia. Imbruglia has insisted on maintaining her musical career independent of her famous sibling.[2]

Career

Imbruglia has released a single, EP and 3 albums independently through her own label Ready Freddie Records. Her debut album was released through Chatterbox Records/MGM, Silversonic Records (DE) and Strange Ears (DK). She was featured on jtv,[3] where "Looking for a Rabbit" was voted #2 music video of the year in 2007, and MTV Australia[4] and performed at the 2002 Homebake festival. She has appeared on the television drama series Crash Palace.[5] Imbruglia toured Europe in late 2007 and March 2008 to promote her self-titled album, including dates in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and the UK. She released her second album "The Lighter Side Of..." in 2010, prior to relocating from Sydney NSW to Melbourne VIC. In 2013, Laura released country album "What A Treat" with a new band composed of Melbourne musicians. From 2015-2017, she embarked on a new career - producing, writing and hosting web series "Amateur Hour" - an episodic arts and culture show based in Melbourne which featured the popular skit "Gender Reversed Guitar Shopping" along with performances from emerging and established Australian musicians and interviews with creatives. In 2019, she returned to music, releasing her fourth album "Scared Of You".

Personal life

She is currently based in Melbourne, though regularly travels to the Adelaide Hills wine region to spend time with her horses, Belinda and Paulette.
