My name is Lauren Babic.
I'm a Canadian musician from Toronto, Canada. I sing, teach, write & record music.
I have a Bachelors of Education degree and I'm an OCT certified teacher.
Music has been in my blood for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing instruments like piano and trumpet. 20 years ago, if you told me I was going to grow up and be a singer, I would have probably laughed and said NO WAY! Singing sort of just...chose me. I was 16, angry, angsty, listening to bands like Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, The Used...and I needed a way to yell at the world. In freshman year of university, I took the plunge. The day I began singing in front of other people was the day I auditioned for my metal band, Red Handed Denial. I've been figuring out this singing thing ever since.
I have many musical projects that I'm involved with. I sing in 2 bands: Red Handed Denial and CrazyEightyEight. So far on my musical adventures, I've recorded two albums, two EPs, and two singles with RHD + one album and three EPs with C88. As a solo artist, I've released a pop EP called Silence Is The Only Sound, and 3 cover albums: Covers Vol. 1, 2, and 3 (all of which you can find digitally on all major streaming platforms, oh... and also CDs and vinyl if you're into that). I'm also active on Youtube where I release a variety of musical content, something that at first I did for fun to practice vocal production and singing, but over time has turned into something much more than I could have ever imagined.
I'm a proud 64audio artist, Sweetwater Affiliate, and endorser of Lewitt Audio studio microphones. I've had the pleasure of working with many incredible brands such as Sennheiser, AKG, sE Electronics, JBL, Love Your Melon, and Hush Blankets.
I've been fortunate enough to work with some very talented artists and producers such as Jarrod Alonge, Patty Walters (As It Is), Johnny Franck (Bilmuri, The March Ahead, Attack Attack), Lukas Magyar (Veil of Maya), Jonathan Young, Lee Albrecht (Producer), Joey Sturgis (Producer), Ben Bruce (Asking Alexandria), Will Putney (Producer), Howard Benson (Producer), Rody Walker (Protest the Hero), Eric July (BackWordz), Halocene, First to Eleven, Violet Orlandi, Cole Rolland, Nik Nocturnal, Philip Strand (Normandie), Xavier Adams (Palisades), Andrew Baena, Christina Rotondo, K Enagonio, Mitchell Rogers (Capture the Crown, Varials), KVLTURE (Producer), and many others. I've appeared as a guest vocalist on songs by hard working bands such as Shokran, BackWordz, The Frame Defect, Bird Problems, & The Fallen Prodigy.
Without music, I don't know where I would be. Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey. Welcome to the family.
