S1 Episode 10: Starting a Singing Career in the Middle of a Pandemic ft. Lauren Leigh Martin

In this episode, you’ll meet Lauren Leigh, singer, songwriter, bandleader, and hired gun based in San Diego, CA. The last couple of years have held many firsts for this power-house vocalist. The first full-time working singer schedule fronting bands like Lauren Leigh and the Low Keys, Wild Heart, Analog Project, High Tide Society, and Mud Slide Slim. Her first professional tour with Pink Froyd opening for Foreigner, buses and all. Debut album release. And as it goes, life turns on a dime and we learn to pivot. Fortunately for Lauren, she was well-equipped to handle the change of plans. None-the-less disappointing, but she’d been establishing herself as a professional and gaining loads of experience and maturity for years. To begin with, she had the good fortune of being raised up in a family full of world-class musicians. She traveled with them, studied them, and soaked in the lessons of those before her. She boldly stepped into major gigs early on and courageously made a way for herself.
