Biography

Laurie Styvers (Laurette Stivers, 1951–1998) was an American singer-songwriter based in the UK. Raised in London during her teenage years, she graduated from The American School in London in 1969. Styvers began her music career with the psychedelic folk band Justine, recording an album in 1970 before leaving to study in Colorado. Upon returning to the UK, she rejoined Justine briefly before their disbandment. In 1971, Styvers embarked on a solo career, signing with Hush Productions. Her debut album, Spilt Milk, received critical praise but achieved limited commercial success. A follow-up, The Colorado Kid (1973), also garnered positive reviews but was not widely released. Styvers balanced music with studies at the University of Colorado, performing locally before retiring from the industry in the late 1970s. She later founded an animal sanctuary in Texas with her father. Styvers passed away in 1998 from hepatitis.
