Adriana-Laurenția "Laura" Stoica (10 October 1967 – 9 March 2006) was a Romanian pop rock singer, composer and actress.

Laura Stoica becomes famous in Romania after winning the great trophy and the first place for solo singing in 1990 at the Mamaia Festival, with Dă, Doamne, cântec ("Give Us Music, Lord"), a song written by Viorel Gavrilă.

The first line-up includes some of the most experienced Romanian pop and rock musicians: Iulian Vrabete (bass, from Holograf), Eugen Mihăescu (guitar, from Krypton), Vlady Cnejevici (keyboards, from Compact and Pasărea Colibri), Florin Ionescu (drums, from Direcția 5), and Cristian Soleanu (saxophone).

[4] During this period, Laura succeeds to be the first woman in her native country regarded as a modern rock performer, combining her vocal abilities with her rebel attitude and looks.

[4] Laura Stoica Band has some new line-ups, which include: Remus Carteleanu (guitar), Matei Bulencea 'Căpitanu' and Paul Baciu (bass), Emanuel Gheorghe 'Fisă' and Mihai Coman (keyboards), Răzvan Lupu 'Lapi' (drums), and later, Relu Bițulescu, Andrei Bărbulescu, Răzvan Gorcinski (drums), and Fernando Drăgănici (keyboards).

[9] In 2000, Stoica completes the recordings for her third album, entitled Vino ("Come"), but she doesn't manage to release it, due to her dropping in popularity.

After some minor tours and concerts in the United States of America, Stoica returns to her native country and, in 2004, she plans a comeback on the local music scene.

She establishes a brand new line-up for her band: Adrian Vișteanu (guitar), Emanuel Gheorghe 'Fisă' (keyboards), Victor Miclăuș (bass), and Cristian Mărgescu (drums, who becomes her fiancé).

[9] In June 2005, she releases a new album, entitled S-a schimbat ("It Has Changed"),[18][19] but the disc has only very little media coverage and gains almost no commercial success.
