After her first year of attending college at Miami University (Oxford, OH), Lauren Kelly discovered that her desire to pursue the arts didn't stop with the use of her voice and watercolors. She picked up the guitar and began to learn how to play as she wanted to worship with something other than her vocal chords. Having no stringed-instrument background, Lauren decided to write her own music and lyrics in order to capture the many dreams and imaginations of her heart. From there, the pages of her heart began to unfold and were open to the world to experience. Lauren's deepest desire is to bring the message of hope and restoration to those who have never known it- and to those who have forgotten what it feels like. Music, art, poetry, and design have been some of the ways that she has endeavored to bring life to the dead places around her. We were created for something bigger. This EP, "Contagious" is the melodic cry to the hearts of a people who simply need to know that they are loved, valued, and purposed to change the world. Featuring songs like "Creativity" where listeners are challenged to step through the window of opportunity into a world of possibilities, Lauren purposes in her music to offer listeners hope and healing. Songs that range emotionally from dealing with insecurities, to depression, to the feelings of restored joy capture the listener and turn them into their own storytellers. As "Contagious" is released into the hearts of those who are seeking something more than four chords and a hook, individuals will experience true freedom that they are compelled to share with others. Be apart of this journey with Lauren- bring Heaven to Earth today and every day.
