Inspired by her cousin Holly

Lauren stated in her auditions of American Idol that she started to sing because of her cousin Holly who suffered from a brain tumor. She went to the auditions because Holly had asked her to.

The person she has always felt as a big sister was suddenly diagnosed with the disease which broke her heart. So, she couldn’t go against her sister’s wishes and went for the audition.

Recently made her first donation

In November of 2017, being the genuine person she is, Lauren not long ago made her first ever donation at the age of 23 to Friends Life Community, a foundation helping adults with special needs and their families with additional support to live a quality life like others.

Lauren suffered from an eating disorder herself when her family was going through problems. Music was the way to release her stress.

It is what she chose to overcome her pain. Her parents divorced as a result of her father’s drinking habit. Lauren’s second album after American Idol, Road Less Travelled was written to make herself happy.

She had so much going on in her mind that she almost wrote 300 songs just in a few years.

“I wrote Road Less Traveled to make myself feel better and process what I was going through. I wrote close to 300 songs over the last few years just trying to figure it out.”
