Laurel Halo is an American electronic musician, composer, and DJ based in Los Angeles and Berlin. Emerging in the early 2010s, she quickly gained critical acclaim for her experimental approach, blending techno, ambient, avant-garde pop, and electro-acoustic compositional styles. Halo’s debut album, *Quarantine* (2012), was released on Hyperdub and received widespread praise for its fragmented vocal delivery and atmospheric production, earning it a spot as The Wire magazine’s album of the year.

Her work frequently draws on a wide range of influences, including Detroit techno, classical minimalism, and Japanese electronic music, and often challenges traditional song structures. Beyond her solo output, Halo has written original scores for films and contemporary art installations, collaborated with artists such as Eli Keszler and Julia Holter, and contributed to esteemed music festivals and institutions globally.

Her DJ sets are known for their eclecticism and adventurousness, seamlessly traversing genres and tempos. Laurel Halo is regarded as a pioneering figure in contemporary electronic music, continually pushing boundaries with her innovative productions, live performances, and multidimensional artistry.
