Short Summary

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Dair Owens and I am a singer/songwriter originally from Anchorage, Alaska (now living in Valencia, California). I am 16 years old and I have written over 50 songs and have put out two EP's. Over the last few years, I have really been trying to find myself as an artist. I have gone through many musical changes and find my music to always be evolving. From hard rock to power ballads, it seems like I've tried it all. I think I have finally found my niche. I think that this is the perfect time to show the world the real Lauren. Along with this new style, I think it is time to adapt my name into something more fitting. While I will always wear my old music on my sleeve, it is time to shed my skin into something more me. So along with my old style, I will also be dropping the 'Owens' in my name. So from now on, I will be known by 'Lauren Dair'.

New name, new style, same heart. I want my third EP to feel like my first one. My first EP had a sense of innocence. I hid behind this tough exterior because I didn't know how to be vulnerable. But now I know that there is nothing more beautiful than pure innocence and bare-bones honesty that rocks someones soul. They often say that third times the charm and I think that is 100% true. The last year and a half has been full of ups and downs and has made for some excellent writing material. The songs I have written tug at my heart-strings and I want to share these songs in hope that they may have the same affect on someone else.


What We Need & What You Get

My third EP has been written and hopefully can be recorded this summer. I see this EP as a celebration. This EP will celebrate my graduation from high school, moving into my professional musical career, and starting my life in the "real world". Why should you contribute? Here's a few reasons:
  • You would be helping contribute to an EP that has the possibility of having songs placed in various TV shows and movies.
  • You would be helping a young artist get their music out into the world.
  • Producing, arranging, and mastering music can be very costly. Without help, it may take a year or two to save enough money to put these songs into the world.
  • Putting music out into the world is challenging and expensive.  I have written the songs but to get them arranged, produced and mastered can cost thousands of dollars.  I want to share my experience with my fans and friends! I am hoping to raise money to help cover the last money needed for my third EP.  My goal is to record something so amazing that I can continue my musical career.
  • For those of you that will donate $5, $10, $50 or more... you can share in my musical journey!  For each level, there will be a perk!  So read through and please consider a small donation.  Even a little bit makes a huge difference!
  • The money will be used for finishing up recording and mastering my third EP!
I am hoping to make this EP between five or six songs long. With your assistance, I will be able to fully record, produce, and master all of my tracks. As a senior in highschool/freshman in college, every extra dollar will help make this vision of mine come true. Thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far and to all of those who have yet to hear what I have to say with my music, I hope you enjoy the music! Thank you!

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't make a small donation, please take the time to share my music!  Post my social media links and send people to my concerts.  It is great to know that you are all listening, but it is even better to know that my music touches you all!
