To date he has released five critically acclaimed instrumental solo albums. Alongside his composition work Porra is the bassist in the renowned Finnish power metal band Stratovarius, with whom he has recorded five albums and performed concerts in over 60 countries. 

Porra comes from a family of professional musicians stretching back four generations, the most famous of which is the iconic composer Jean Sibelius.
Lauri was nominated for HARPA honor award in 2016.

" The flights of Lahti Symphony together with a rock band creates a contemporary music classic of the modern times, in which Porra celebrates with his virtuosity technique"

" There is an impressive, ambitious and distinctive voice at work here, and what an ear he has for colour! He is also a prodigious bassist"
