Renowned for her enchanting lyrical delivery and impeccable sense of timing, Lauren Bush stands as a contemporary Canadian jazz vocalist based in London, UK. Praised by All About Jazz as a “freshest and most exciting” presence on the scene, and hailed by Downbeat Magazine for her exceptional phrasing, diction, and scatting prowess, Lauren is a true standout.

Her debut album, All My Treasures, released in 2016, presented 12 meticulously chosen jazz standards. Produced by Ian Shaw, it garnered critical acclaim for its inventive arrangements and showcased Lauren’s versatility, from vivacious renditions of tracks like “Sweet Georgia Brown” to emotive ballads like “Detour Ahead”. This same year, Lauren was selected as a top five finalist in the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition (Samara Joy and Jazzmeia Horn)

In 2021, Lauren’s sophomore release Dream Away marked a milestone in her journey. The album, celebrated for its sophistication and including originals from both Lauren and her musical peers, achieved remarkable recognition, making it to the top 10 albums of the year on Bebop Spoken Here.

Now, her new album Tide Rises, released in October 2023 on Mighty Quinn Records is a collection of 10 tracks, including three penned by Lauren herself and collaborative efforts with fellow musicians, promises to be a defining chapter in her artistic evolution. As Lauren’s musical narrative continues to unfold, her unwavering commitment to innovation and emotive storytelling sets her apart as a luminous force in the world of jazz.
