Ko Laughton Kora me tōna reo waitī e noho whakamua ana i te ao puoro o Aotearoa i ēnei tekau tau nei. Kua purei a Laughton mai i te wā e 6 noa iho tana pakeke – ka tū ia i te atamira i te taha o te pēne o tōna pāpā, tae atu ki te wā e 17 tana pakeke, ā, nāna i toa i Smoke Free Rock Quest. I tāpoi haere tana pēne Auntry Beatrice i Aotearoa, ā, ka whakaputaina tētahi waiata. Ka neke ia ki Tāhuna, ka tīmata a Soul Charge i te taha o KP (Sunshine Sound System) rāua ko P Digsss (Shapeshifter). I te tau 2011, ka neke ia ki Te Whanganui a Tara, ā, ka rewa te waka o KORA (2003-2012) i te taha o ōna parata.
