Lauren Frihauf grew up on a 1300-acre farm an hour and a half outside of Denver, CO. Alongside her homeschooling, Lauren pursued her passion for music by taking singing and piano lessons from a young age. In highschool she was overjoyed to find a vibrant community at the School of Rock. Here, her talents rapidly flourished as she began touring with the AllStars in 2018. In 2019 she sang lead on a California Dreamin’ which has garnered nearly 15 million views.

Not long after, Lauren’s voice drew national attention on NBC's "The Voice" Season 19, under the mentorship of Gwen Stefani and John Legend, where critics praised her unique vocal style and emotional depth. And in 2022 her song, “Fragments of a Stranger” was featured on NPR Music's 2022 Tiny Desk 'Top Shelf’

Cut to today, Lauren has become a uniquely captivating figure in Denver’s music scene. Influenced by artists like Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, Joni Mitchell, and Norah Jones, Lauren blends her poetic storytelling with folk and neo-soul elements to create a distinctive and captivating sound experience.
