www.laurenspangler.com

"Soft yet boisterous, singer-songwriter Lauren Spangler blends pop, classical, and jazz music into a dynamic Baroque-pop style, anchored by soulful lyrics and playful vocals." I am from the Southwestern United States and grew up singing, songwriting, and playing piano. My new album 'Sailing By the Moon' was released independently in August, and I have moved to London to make meaningful connections in the music business that will help me share my music with people around the world.

  • Luke Ok so Hi Ya Goddess did not get a thank {probably too many worshipers} So instead some incredibly good advice.

    • Luke 1st The best talent contest are the ones no one takes too seriously like Eurovision this means that life will go on after the show. 2. MUCH of he music industry now wants EVERYTHING gifted wrapped and handed to them on a silver platter. This means the hit. It could mean alot of other stuff but since you alreay got so much going for you perhaps a couple f hit songs will do have a nice day.

    • Lauren Hi, Luke. Thanks for the advice, and the time you took to share your opinion. I agree that the most enjoyable contests are those kept in perspective, and those where a spirit of sharing trumps cut-throat competition. This is one reason why I am excited about the anything-goes, open-to-all attitude of the StarNow Music Immersive. Also, I do read and appreciate each comment, though some are more difficult to follow up with a response. Best of luck in your music endeavors!

  • Daphney You have such a beautiful voice but I wish you picked a different type of song. The song might be the reason you are not on the top 5. You are a star and I will keep voting and will ask my friends to vote for you as well. Good luck!!!
