Lauren Sanderson is a rebel with a cause. Ringing in the new year with her debut album, Midwest Kids Can Make It Big, this Indianan teaches us all something about believing in yourself and following your dreams. Having gone from being her own manager, booking her own first tour and recording music in her bedroom closet to opening for FINNEAS on tour and releasing her debut, the DIY mogul is an exemplary case of dedication, passion and self-assurance. Lauren's dominant voice takes charge, and as a savant with words, she showcases her songwriting capabilities with her ability to inspire and release to the masses.
