about
Lauren is a reflective indie folk artist, hailing from Calgary, Alberta. Music has been her aspiration for as long as she can remember. She started playing classical piano when she was 5 years old and continued with it until she reached Grade 8 Royal Conservatory at age 15. At that point, Lauren hit a wall of frustration and quit her training. Realizing that she only wanted to expand what she knew to be music at that time, she then came back to piano with full force, pursuing a fresh and different flavor with Jazz training. After moving to Calgary from the Greater Vancouver area in 2002, Lauren joined a youth band at church. This was the foundational place where she significantly grew into her own as a musician. As she gained confidence, she began leading worship at the youth group, young adult services, main services, and conferences and retreats throughout Alberta. In August of 2008, after years of writing her own songs in her spare time, Lauren began her career as a solo artist, and since then, has played at house shows, coffeehouses, community centres, bars, and community events including the ever-expanding Market Collective held bi-monthly in Calgary. Over the course of the early months of 2009, she recorded three demo tracks with friend and recording engineer Andrew Hamill of Chaos Theory Studios in Calgary, and compiled these tracks to self-produce a demo EP. In July 2009, Lauren collaborated with Aaron Fraser (formerly of Calgary band You Are A Weapon), Jon Purshke
