Laura Campisi is a storyteller, but unlike other singers who tell stories of love and longing, she tells stories of the inner life of an artist just trying to understand her place in the world. With a warm voice full of colors, Campisi has a wide-ranging imagination informed by musical influences from both sides of the Atlantic. Although her music is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, Campisi’s original songs and her singular versions of jazz standards create a world that is both unique and universal. "Everyone needs a mirror to look into, to recognize themselves, to see their flaws and good qualities as they really are. The double mirror is the search for balance. It is the acknowledgement that my heart is divided between my art and real life, between Europe and America. The double mirror reflects my dual nature, strong and weak, determined and lazy, passionate and afraid."
