Singer-songwriter Lauren Howell blends elements of folk-pop, indie, chamber-pop, and musical theater to create a sound that is both familiar and forward-thinking. Her self-reflective lyrics and conversational storytelling explore themes of heartbreak, nostalgia, and identity with a maturity and perspective that belies her years.

Born in Nashville, TN, Lauren grew up surrounded by music and songwriting. Her parents, Porter Howell and Angela, are both first-generation Nashville transplants who pursued their own paths in music, inspiring Lauren’s lifelong connection to the craft. She learned to sing almost as soon as she learned to talk and developed an early passion for musical theater, leading to starring roles in two high school productions.

After graduating from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City, Lauren returned to Nashville to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. Drawing from her background in musical theater and the songwriting influence of her father, she creates music rooted in emotional honesty, thoughtful lyricism, and a unique artistic perspective.
