from Nyota Issue 26
Interview by Carol Wright Photographer: Luca Venter
Laura Dreyfuss is a multi-talented performer who has been seen everywhere from the Tony® Awardwinning Once, to Broadway phenomenon Dear Evan Hansen, and Netflix’s The Politician. Now she is flexing her songwriting prowess with her solo debut EP Peaks. Dreyfuss talked to NYOTA about reconnecting with her love of music, her advice for aspiring musicians, and working on her EP.
Choosing a title for an EP or album can hold a lot of meaning. How did you land on the name Peaks?
I’ve learned that life has ebbs and flows. Sometimes you feel like you’re on a peak and everything feels small, other times it’s like a valley. Both are necessary when you’re moving forward. I thought it would be cool to try and express that musically.
