LAuren, who likes to spell her name with the first two letters capitalized, hailed originally from Miami, FL, before moving to Los Angeles, CA. She was a relative latecomer to music-making, but finally turned to recording by working with producers Joey Covington (Jefferson Airplane) and Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot) on her self-released 2005 album, Hideout Is a Crook's Best Friend, a classic rock effort that features songs written by Covington and another former Jefferson Airplane member, Marty Balin. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
