Bloom's unique blend of indie folk and jazz influences creates a listening experience that is both refreshing and thought-provoking, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
"I recorded my debut EP „Painting The Sunlight In My Room“ after placing a piano in the living room of my childhood home. This intimate space, filled with memories of youth, is as integral to my songs as the vibrant cracks in the crumbling house itself. My songs are stories of growing pains, the process of letting go and moving on, and the peace that comes from embracing childhood." – Laurel Bloom
