Today, we’d like to introduce you to Lauren Teel.
NV: Hi Lauren, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
LAUREN: Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I could sing before I could talk, and by age 3, I was already making up songs and begging my mom for piano lessons. At 4 years old, a piano teacher finally took a chance on me, and that was the beginning of a lifelong pursuit.
As a child, I sang every day on the playground, all the way through 5th grade. Even when I was bullied for it starting in 3rd grade — kids sometimes throwing wood chips at me to make me stop, but I never did. That persistence became part of who I am, and I believe those early years of singing fearlessly helped shape the voice I have today.
I picked up guitar at 10 and began writing songs seriously at 12. From that point on, songwriting became second nature. I continued writing throughout high school and eventually attended Middle Tennessee State University to study Songwriting, graduating in December 2024.
While in school, I released my first album and several singles as a country artist. In 2022, I chose to step back from releasing music in order to focus fully on sharpening my songwriting. Over the next three years, I devoted myself to growth, discipline, and becoming a stronger writer.
In February of this year, after attending a Global Songwriters Connection focus group, I had a clear realization: I wasn’t just called to write songs. I was called to be an artist. Since then, I’ve been collaborating with GSC to develop the best songs possible for my next project, set for release in Spring 2027.
