She honed her skills at the L’Aula de Música Moderna i Jazz del Liceu in Barcelona where she earned her Bachelor's in Music in 2008. Vall was proclaimed Best Artist of the Year in 2014 by U&I and FourCulture Magazines, Artist of the Year in 2012 at the Artists In Music Awards, and included in the Best New Artists by Music Connection Magazine. She also won Best Alternative Song of 2012 for her single “Real” at the Hollywood Music and Media Awards and was featured on KCRW’s “Today's Top Tune” with her band, The Controversy. - Vall’s warm, soulful and hypnotic voice has led her to work with renowned artists such as Stevie Wonder, Rhonda Smith (Chaka Khan, Beyoncé, Erykah Badu), Michael Bland (Prince), Troy Laureta (Ariana Grande), Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz) and Buster Williams (Herbie Hancock); with grammy-winning producers and engineers David Russell (Lady Gaga), Dapo Torimiro (Justin Bieber), Jeff Weber (Stanley Clarke, Sarah Vaughan), Michael D.

Laura has performed at Super Bowl XLIX and in the musical theater play, Hanoman, The Ultimate Warrior in Jakarta, Indonesia. She has made several TV appearances, including America's Got Talent (with The Earth Harp Collective), Hitam Putih (most-watched late-night show in Indonesia, with Hanoman) and Els Matins de TV3 (performing with The Controversy, in Spain). - Laura's love for Bossa Nova started at a very young age, and from that love, she founded her first Bossa Nova trio in Barcelona when she was only 15 years old. The band, called Devagar, played the classics of Bossa Nova incessantly throughout Catalunya and the Balearic Islands before Laura moved permanently to the USA. There, Laura co-founded NOVA with drummer Mike Papagni in 2011 while they were both studying at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. She continues to front the band with her elegant and graceful, yet powerful sound. As a talented engineer, she also works tirelessly behind the scenes to produce, mix and master the audio for NOVA’s albums and live videos."
