About

Bill Laurance (born 1981, North London) is an English pianist, composer, and producer best known as a founding member of the five-time Grammy-winning jazz-fusion group Snarky Puppy. Alongside that work he has built a substantial solo career across more than a dozen albums, moving fluidly between jazz, classical, electronica, and orchestral writing. His 2025 solo record Lumen - recorded alone at night inside a South London church - was widely praised as his most personal statement to date.
