Lauren Presley

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Every morning I would stand in my mom's chair to reach the stereo system and play this song over and over and over while sitting in that chair singing it over and over, loudly. The song was 'I can only imagine' by MercyMe. I remember this vividly. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Does Anybody” This song feels like the story of my life. I wrote it about the very real struggle of feeling like life moves way too fast, and I can't seem to keep up while seeing other people who seemingly have it all together & wondering if it's real. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? A friend of mine who struggles with mental health told me one day how much my music has helped them when they are having a bad day. It really impacted me and reminded me of why I even do this. If I can help or inspire even just 1 person, I'm happy. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? So many things! I'd love to have my new releases on New Music Friday/New Music daily playlists so my music can reach more people. Also on my bucket list, I want to have huge sold-out shows and collab with some of my favorite artists.
