About Me
Lauren Bush - Canadian Born UK Based Jazz Vocalist
Canadian-born, London-based vocalist Lauren Bush has established herself as one of the UK's leading contemporary jazz singers, combining an expressive lyricism with an adventurous musical spirit. Equally at home interpreting the Great American Songbook as she is performing her own compositions, she has become known for her impeccable phrasing, conversational scatting and ability to uncover fresh perspectives within familiar repertoire. Since releasing her debut album, All My Treasures (2016), produced by Ian Shaw, Lauren has developed an increasingly distinctive artistic voice. Her second album, Dream Away (2021), introduced a greater emphasis on original composition and collaborative writing, earning a place in Bebop Spoken Here's Top Ten Albums of the Year. Her latest release, Tide Rises (Mighty Quinn Records), premiered to a sold-out audience at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and was later named the publication's No. 2 Album of the Year. The record showcases Lauren's evolving songwriting alongside inventive arrangements by longtime collaborator Liam Dunachie. A finalist in the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Lauren has performed extensively throughout Europe and North America. Recent years have seen her touring across Germany, Belgium and Ireland before returning to Canada for a 10-date tour spanning Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, including appearances at the Markham Jazz Festival, The Jazz Bistro, The Bassment and Frankie's Jazz Club. Raised in a musical family in British Columbia, Lauren has been surrounded by jazz from an early age. That grounding continues to inform her approach today: performances built on storytelling, spontaneity and genuine musical conversation. Whether in an intimate club or on a festival stage, she brings warmth, sophistication and a contemporary perspective to the jazz tradition. Lauren is currently writing and recording new material for her fourth album with Mighty Quinn Records, due for release in early 2027.
