The Christian artist shares her story of an illness that she was bedridden and extremely sick with Cytomegalovirus, which is an autoimmune deficiency at the age of 15, which resulted in her missing two to three years of her high school life. She also shares that it was during this time she realized her seeking for God.

Adrenaline Junkie
She’s an adrenalin junkie, which means she shows interest and loves everything adventures under the sun, or even above it! From cliff jumping to motorcycles, she’s in for fun for whatever you throw at the singer. She’s not just a singer of Christian values but also an extrovert ho loves to try new hobbies.
First song
After finding her passion for music at the age of five, she claims that her first song was on Chocolate milk. It started when her mom encouraged the little girl to write a book (full of paintings) on the appearance of the mud impersonated as chocolate in the rainy season.
Her inspiration
Lauren was aware of the tone and texture of her voice and also knew that it did not fit the typical music industry norms. Hence, she was inspired by the ones that had a husky and smoky voice like hers, like Adele, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.
The Music Box
Lauren’s childhood home, where she lived at that time and practised her music, was nicknamed the music box because she kept singing non-stop at the house. She was an open singer from childhood and never hesitated to lift her voice. The name was given by her mother, who exclaimed that the singer used to walk around the house always singing or humming tunes.
The big break
Before joining the music industry and got famous, she was a leader at the choir in the university. Despite being eliminated from the popular show American Idol, she made her singing career in Hollywood in 2012. She achieved her break when she filled in for a singer who fell ill. This led the artist to perform for ‘Nothing is Wasted’, immediately after which she was signed to the Centricity Music label in the year 2013.
