She was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and now lives in Barcelona, where she teaches at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya since 2003.

Laura is currently working in duo with the Greek-Canadian singer Frances Pappas in the ensemble Lagrimosa Belta which presents pieces written for them by composers such as Helmut Jasbar, Feliu Gasull i Altisent, Stefan Hakenberg all based on contemporary explorations of traditional folk music. Laura is currently working on incorporating bowed string expressive playing to current classical guitar performance in her doctoral research (at the Ghent Orpheus Institute in Belgium), which focuses on the performance of solo violin and solo cello works by Max Reger. From 1997 to 2001, Young was the founder and Artistic Director of the Amsterdam International Guitar Festival. In October 2014, she was appointed full professor of guitar at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
