about the artist
Hi. It's me, Lauren. Welcome to my bio, where I am supposed to somehow put 20+ years into a couple paragraphs so buckle in. I grew up in Indiana and let's be real – things didn't exactly go according to plan. I didn't get into college, but somehow, that led me to a TED Talk at 19 where I realized I wanted to do one thing: be my authentic self and inspire people along the way. I started making music in my bedroom, just sharing everything, the highs, the lows, the real stuff. It wasn't long before a community of…
MoreHi. It's me, Lauren. Welcome to my bio, where I am supposed to somehow put 20+ years into a couple paragraphs so buckle in. I grew up in Indiana and let's be real – things didn't exactly go according to plan. I didn't get into college, but somehow, that led me to a TED Talk at 19 where I realized I wanted to do one thing: be my authentic self and inspire people along the way. I started making music in my bedroom, just sharing everything, the highs, the lows, the real stuff. It wasn't long before a community of people who felt like I did started to grow, and that took me to LA in 2018.
In 2019, I was on stage opening for FINNEAS and Chase Atlantic — insane. Then, 2020 came around, and I dropped my debut album Midwest Kids Can Make It Big, which got love from Billboard, Complex, MTV, and even Zane Lowe on Beats 1 (he is one of my favorite interviewers on planet Earth). In 2022, life got crazy when "THERAPY!" blew up on TikTok. That year, I also collaborated with GFLIP on our song GAY 4 ME, which was massive for G & I, and then dropped my second album, Death Of A Fantasy, which has over 20 million streams on Spotify… what the ****.
Fast forward to 2023, I release IDC AT ALL with the help of Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil. I'm touring the world — 37 cities across North America, Europe, and the UK. It's been surreal, and I'm so grateful for it all. But somehow, this is still just the beginning. I can't wait to keep pushing boundaries, making music, and, most importantly, inspiring people to just be who they are. My third album will be coming in HOT in 2025. I hope you're ready for a wild ride.
