WILD is a Los Angeles based trio comprised of Lauren Luiz (vocals), Tyler Thompson (producer/bass) and Zach Daegatano (guitar/vocals).
Hailing from Portland, Minneapolis, and Boston respectively, their paths did not intertwine until Tyler and Zach met through a mutual friend and began writing songs together. The only thing missing was the right singer who could complement their soulful melodies with pop sensibilities. It was not until Tyler and Zach met Lauren in 2016 that they felt complete. Lauren’s powerful vocals and strong topline was the perfect fit.
Their first single "Vagabond," which they independently released, has over 4 million streams. The song caught the attention of Mark Jowett, one of the founders of Nettwerk Music Group (Passenger, Angus & Julia), who promptly signed them.
