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 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.
