Lauren Christy
Singer/Songwriter Lauren Christy was born in London, England. She studied at the Bush Davies Ballet School from age 11 to 17, before she realized she was meant to become a musical artist.
She was a member of several bands. Her first band, Pink Ash, consisted of six male members and herself. She called herself Susie Reptile. After frantically writing and looking for inspiration from her keyboards, Lauren achieved both a publishing deal with EMI and a major label record contract with Polygram Records.
She released her self-titled debut album on February 19, 1993 and followed it with her second album, Breed on July 22, 1997.
Her music has been in movies such as 2003's American Wedding and 2004's 13 Going On 30 and on television shows such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
She has written or co-written songs for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Lillix, Ricky Martin, Hilary Duff, Liz Phair, Ronan Keating, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, and Jason Mraz.
