Lauren Spencer-Smith

Lauren Spencer-Smith will let you know what’s on her mind. When she steps up to the microphone, the Vancouver Island singer and songwriter shares the kinds of stories typically only traded by best friends long after the sun goes down. Her unfiltered feelings resonate just as loudly as her stunning vocals do, tracing life’s ups, downs, and everything in between with sharp lyrics and even sharper melodies. 

Balancing a job, school, and teaching herself piano and guitar, she prolifically posted videos on social media. One day, she sang Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way” from A Star Is Born in her dad’s truck. The ensuing impromptu clip (filmed by her father) exploded with tens of millions of views on Facebook. American Idol invited her to appear in the 2020 season and she placed in the Top 20. Countless songwriting sessions followed as she honed her chops alongside several well known producers and more independent talent. 

In the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown, she launched her TikTok page with a steady stream of content. She gained traction on streaming platforms with a stunning cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “All I Want” and originals such as “For Granted” and “Back To Friends.” However, “Fingers Crossed” primed her for a major breakthrough. A smartphone video of Lauren’s unplugged performance of the song generated over half-a-billion views on TIKTOK, earned over 250 million streams globally, and hit the Top 10 on Top 40 Radio. Her full-length debut is expected this year.
