LAUREN SANDERSON, an influential queer alt-pop icon, began her rise to prominence with a TED Talk at 19 that set the stage for her future success. Her debut album, Midwest Kids Can Make It Big, released in 2019, earned acclaim from Billboard, Complex, MTV, and others, and led to major tours with FINNEAS and Chase Atlantic. In 2022, LAUREN gained viral success with her TikTok hit “THERAPY!” from her second album, Death Of A Fantasy, and collaborated with fellow queer icon GFLIP on the track “GAY 4 ME.” Her impact was further solidified in 2023 with a monumental 37-city world tour across North America, Europe, and the UK. As she continues to push boundaries and redefine alt-pop, Lauren is now preparing to embark on her next US headline tour beginning October 25, 2024.
