Lauren Spencer Smith

Lauren Spencer Smith feels everything to the utmost extreme. She isn’t afraid to cry. She won’t go quiet if she needs to yell. She doesn’t hide stress, doubt, anxiety, or anger. Rather, she runs towards these feelings, embraces them, and turns them into soulful sky-high pop anthems that you can sing along to at the top of your lungs. This emotional fearlessness has transformed the UK-born / Canadian raised singer and songwriter into a multiplatinum sensation whose voice strikes a chord with fans worldwide.

Hailing from a tiny town on a remote Canadian island, Lauren learned how to sing by practicing over and over again alone in her room. “No concerts ever came to where we lived, and I didn’t grow up doing things like musical theater,” she says. After years of grinding, she independently broke through with the Platinum-certified “Fingers Crossed,”going mega-viral and landing a deal with Island / Republic Records in 2022. It paved the way for full-length debut, Mirror, which yielded the Platinum-certified “Flowers” and fan favorite “That Part”. Along the way, she lit up The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and packed houses on multiple continents during her headline The Mirror Tour. Billboard named her among its “21 under 21,” and she incited the applause of People, The Guardian, DORK, and Stereogum who christened her “Gen Z’s new favorite breakup balladeer.” 

Following widespread acclaim and billions of streams, she resonates more than ever on her 2025 second full-length offering, The Art of Being a Mess [Island / Republic Records], introduced by the singles “Pray” and “If Karma Doesn’t Get You (I Will).”
