Lauren Cash has loved music for as long as she can remember. After begging her parents to learn violin at age three, she began lessons when she was five until an elbow injury prevented her from continuing to play at twelve. After giving up violin, Lauren discovered her true passion was singing and songwriting. She has invested countless hours developing her voice, and songwriting while teaching herself guitar and ukulele along the way. ‘I’ve always known music is what I’ve wanted to do. There’s nothing else that fully consumes me in the same way. I’ve thought about going into a “normal” career with a certain income, but I’m not “normal” and life is not certain. And, everything circles around to music. Even my footsteps and the tap of my pen beat on to various melodies stuck in my head. So, I do music because I can’t not do music. At 14, I discovered my voice and at 15, I discovered my love for guitar. When I first started out, I watched YouTube tutorials on some basic chords and scales, then played guitar until my fingers bled. I started songwriting when I had been very sick with a chronic illness. I couldn’t get out of bed some days. It’s been a outlet for me and it still is.'
