Mini bio
How it started.
Laura began singing alongside her father in piano bars as a child. In a 2022 interview, she recalled watching him rehearse in the garage and asking to perform with him as her own love of singing grew.
The breakthrough.
In 1993 she won Sanremo’s newcomers category with “La solitudine” and released her self-titled debut. She returned the following year with “Strani amori”, placing third among the established artists, and released a Spanish-language album collecting songs from her first two records.
Songs across borders.
Italian and Spanish recordings became a recurring part of her work. Escucha, the Spanish version of Resta in ascolto, won the 2006 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album. Her 2006 covers project Io canto / Yo canto began a tribute to other songwriters that she returned to with two new albums in 2026.
Beyond the records.
Laura’s work also includes television and film. She co-hosted Eurovision in 2022 and released the autobiographical film Laura Pausini: Piacere di conoscerti on Prime Video that year. “Io sì (Seen)”, from The Life Ahead, won the 2021 Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
