“You really have a point of view as a singer, and that's crazy if you were thirty-two, but the fact that you're able to do it at the age of sixteen is stunning.” - John Legend
Lauren Frihauf
Lauren Frihauf is an indie singer-songwriter with a neo-soul vibe. Her debut single, "June", is a collaboration with Ben Suyat, a talented guitar performance major at the University of Southern California.
Lauren recently returned to her family's Colorado farm from Hollywood, California, where she made it to the Knockout Rounds on Season 19 of NBC's, "The Voice", on Teams Gwen and Legend. In a surreal moment, John Legend, Blake Shelton, and Gwen Stefani stood as she finished her powerful performance of Janis Joplin's,"Cry Baby".
“Lauren you have this really pretty angelic tone... just to be that artistic” - Kelly Clarkson
Lauren Frihauf and Ben Suyat
Lauren and Ben began writing original music while at the School of Rock in Aurora, Colorado, staying after weekly house band rehearsals to work out their tunes.
Moonchild meets classic rock. Ben takes influence from artists such as Steely Dan, John Mayer, and the Grateful Dead, while Lauren finds inspiration in Joni Mitchell, Emily King, Amy Winehouse, and Amber Navran of Mooonchild. Their first original, "Adaline", was well received at the 2019 Durango Songwriters Expo and one of two winners in the 2020 Tennessee Songwriters Week Qualifying Round at Arrington Vineyards, judged by Kix Brooks, Pat Higdon, and Shane Minor.
Lauren Frihauf and Friends
Lauren and Ben have joined forces with friends from their former School of Rock Aurora House Band:
Jake Fernstrum, on drums, and Ethan Rogers, on bass. The country-wide shutdowns of universities and live music venues brought them together again, Lauren is excited for the opportunity to make music with her talented friends!
