This perfect blend of hard work and talent has culminated in the here and now, solidifying Lauren Spencer Smith’s status as a formidable powerhouse in the music industry.
We go waay back with Lauren, dating all the way to September 2018. A nostalgic trip down memory lane takes us to videos on her YouTube channel where she beautifully covered Sing2Piano tracks of Coldplay and Pink.

A combination of covers and additional viral videos really started to put herself on the map, with the above viral video helping her secure a spot on season 18 of American Idol:
