Penfriend Bristol, UK
Laura Kidd is a solo artist based in Bristol, UK.
From 2010-2019 she created her own

Since then, she's been making music as Penfriend. Part reinvention, part reckoning with a more confident, wiser self, her new project is a deliberate call for more meaningful connection at a time of cheap dopamine highs.
