Hi everyone! My name is Lauren. I'm from Toronto, Canada. I'm a vocalist, musician, songwriter, and teacher. I sing in 2 bands: Red Handed Denial and CrazyEightyEight, and I have my own solo pop release! I also make videos on my Youtube channel about all things music, including covers, original music, tutorials, vlogs and more. I've been singing for 14 years, but music has always been a passion for as long as I can remember.

Why do I do what I do?

Music is my life. If I didn't have music or have the opportunity to create, I don't know where I'd be. Not only do I want to create as much original music as possible, but I love putting my own spin on songs by bands and artists who inspire me. I also want to inspire young artists to be themselves and pursue their musical dreams and I especially hope to inspire women to break the mould and to overcome the boundaries that have been set by the rock and metal industry.

Where will your money go?

I record vocals and create videos from my home studio with self-funded equipment. With your support, I can continue making music, improving my skills, and taking my content to new heights. This includes updating and maintaining studio equipment, outsourcing engineers for mixing and mastering, and also just being able to pay my bills (because musicians need to do that too). I film, record, and edit my videos all by myself and that takes lots of time.

Other ways to support me if Patreon isn't for you...

If this platform isn't for you, don't worry! There is no pressure here. Other ways you can support my musical projects include subscribing to my Youtube channel, following me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, purchasing merchandise at the lb. merch store or the Red Handed Denial merch store, streaming/downloading my music on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play and other digital stores... or just sharing my videos or music with your friends! Every little bit counts!

Just remember, I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you.
Thank you for the ongoing support. <3

-Lauren

FAQs:

Q: How do pledges work?
A: Pledges are billed immediately when you sign up for the month. They recur on the 1st of each month for as long as you want. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. I try and send out any tier perks as fast as possible, BUT sometimes that can get delayed. I promise you'll get your things. Please be patient!

Q: Can I make a one-time pledge to support you?
A: Yes! You are not obligated to make recurring payments. You can hop on and hop off at any time.
