Lauren Leigh began singing around the age of five, accompanying the songs in The Little Mermaid until she knew them all by heart. Her aunt, local singer-songwriter Eve Selis, told her that she was already a vocal prodigy. “I didn’t have perfect pitch,” says Leigh, “but I guess I was hitting the notes and keys right.” Music is in her blood: besides Selis, her father Claudio Martin is a guitar virtuoso, and her cousins in the band Omo Cloud perform as well.
Leigh went on to sing with bands such as the One and Onlys (later known as Redwave) and classic country band Wild Heart, as well as singing with Pink Froyd, High Tide Society, Analog Project, Back to the Garden, and others.
In 2022, Leigh released her second solo full-length, Ghost in the Picture.
