Lauren Elisabeth Strawn (born September 22, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, recognized in her hometown for winning $21,000 ($10,000 for herself, $10,000 for a select charity, and $1,000 worth of equipment from Ken Stanton Music) and a three-track demo with the annual opening act contest by Christian Atlanta radio station, 104.7 the Fish, opening for Christian pop rock band, the Newsboys in September 2011. Strawn is known for experimenting outside the barriers of any particular genre, with her musical inspiration being very broad, stemming from her strong Christian faith to personal hardships. Having begun writing her own songs and instrumentals using musical computer software such as Mixcraft 5 to record personal projects since the age of 16, Strawn continues to write all of her own lyrics, music, and arrangements. Strawn is also known for her involvement in writing the lyrics, music, and arrangement to Track 7 "Like a Fire" on First Apostolic Church of Maryville's album entitled "Declare Freedom", as well as writing the choir's vocal arrangements on Shara McKee's album entitled "Testimony". Other projects include piano, strings, synth, and background vocals on Jack Lawson's album entitled "From the Ashes". Strawn is now recording with Huff Studios (since 2012), expecting to release her first official demo album in the spring of 2015.
