Millions first discovered Lauren during her unforgettable run on American Idol in 2020, but her journey as an artist began long before national television. A musical prodigy, Lauren was writing songs and performing by age 7, and by her teens was already captivating audiences six nights a week in Branson, Missouri.

Since moving to Nashville from her hometown of Louisville, Ohio, Lauren has built an impressive resume that reads like a veteran’s dream — sharing stages and writing rooms with icons like Pam Tillis, Matraca Berg, Suzy Bogguss, Delbert McClinton, and Lonestar.

Her breakout album God Made a Woman earned critical acclaim, landing on The New York Times and Saving Country Music’s Best Albums of 2020 lists and climbing to #4 on the iTunes Country Albums chart.
