Laura Marano Opens Up On Perseverance & Going Independent With Her New Music

Laura Marano is finally back in the music business after a few frustrating years and trying to release new music.

Now, with brand new single “Me”, the 22-year-old entertainer is taking matters into her own hands and going independent.

“Being independent means being my own boss, so of course, there are so many benefits to that and quite a few cons as well,” she told JJJ in our exclusive chat with her. “It’s going to definitely be way more work.”

Laura adds, knowing that she has to “be very aware of the business side of things, which definitely sometimes gets in the way of the creative side.”

But then again, being independent means that “there are no label politics that are stopping me from releasing music, so I plan to be releasing a lot of songs that I have been working on for months. That fact makes me so ridiculously happy, it’s hard not to be excited about this new endeavor, even if it’s terrifying as well, especially on the financial side.”

Laura also talked with us about not giving up with her music, even though there were many who tried to tell her to do just that.

“I think a lot of people in my life assumed I would just give up, but it was never really an option for me,” she says. “I love music. So, so much. I honestly can’t picture my life without it.”

She adds, “It’s such a tough industry, and I don’t know what the future exactly holds, but I do know that I will always be creating music because it makes me so incredibly happy.”

As for her new single, “Me”, she just wants her fans to embrace it.

“I just want my fans to love it and make up their own stories to the song; but I also want them to get ready because a lot of my music sounds like this!”
