Story began her career in 1996 when she met Shane Williams, from the band Silers Bald, at Columbia International University. Williams asked Story to join the band and she became their bass player. Story released four independent albums with the band.

When the band was about to sign a deal with Essential Records, Story's manager suggested she record a solo album. In 2002, Story left Silers Bald and began working on her first album, Indescribable, which was released independently that same year. In 2004, the title track of her album was recorded by Chris Tomlin in his album, Arriving. Tomlin's version peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs and was included in the compilation album Passion: How Great Is Our God. The band Avalon also recorded a version of the song for the WOW Worship 2006 album.

Story released her second independent album in 2005, titled There Is Nothing. The album was produced by Ed Cash and Mitch Dane. During that year, she also married Martin Elvington, and moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to become an associate worship leader at Perimeter Church.

Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Laura knew at the very young age of 5 that she wanted to become a professional recording artist. At 16 years of age she gave her heart to the Lord during a crusade in her hometown, but never became grounded in the Word and continued to seek her own path. Eventually, Laura moved to New York City to pursue a recording career. Her call to ministry came after her younger brother, Jay, became a ventilator dependent quadriplegic due to a tragic construction accident in 2000. While at her brother?s bedside in a nursing facility, Laura penned ?Ease the Pain?, an emotional ballad about her love for Jay.
