Lauren Bush

Born: May 12, 1986

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.
