Lauren Moscato (Singer/Songwriter)

Originally from Syracuse, New York, Lauren Moscato attends the University of Memphis as a Music Business student. Lauren found her passion early, starting at the age of three singing at the church her dad pastors.” Being born into a ministerial home and moving from state to state for a total of five times was not easy,” Lauren reveals. She had to quickly adjust to transitioning from each school and being viewed in the so-called “fish bowl” lens of a pastor’s daughter. Despite a preference to go unnoticed, Moscato had an unmistakable passion for music. Lauren began taking classical and jazz voice lessons at the age of 13 when her musical journey took an alternative turn when she wrote her first song titled, “The Song of the Redeemed.” “When I write songs, I write with meaningful lyrics that are meant to be felt and heard through life lessons and experiences influenced from God," she reveals. Moscato does her best to make her musical message connect with every kind of music lover. Lauren considers herself to be well rounded with poetic richness and melodically driven tunes. With the powerhouse nuances of Sara Bareilles and the vulnerability of singer/songwriter Kari Jobe, Moscato offers piano driven melodies and scripture-based lyrics. She fills her life with music in any way she can whether it’s performing at a local coffee shop,performing with the University Singers, or singing in the University of Memphis Jazz ensemble, her experience goes beyond being just a fan of music. She has performed at many venues including a Showcase in Nashville for Band With A Mission, The Memphis Delta Fair 2012 and 2013, Memphis Hard Rock Cafe, The New Daisy, and various fundraisers for sororities and fraternities as a member of the Kappa Delta chapter at the University of Memphis. With minimal accompaniment, she uses her lyrics and voice to capture audiences on a personal level. Lauren has received several awards including Best Female Contemporary Christian artist, and Songwriter of the year for the Indie Music Channel. Along with traveling between Memphis and Nashville for her upcoming EP, she has the opportunity to record for free at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, California in the summer. As she finds herself in the rise of the Memphis music scene, she hopes to continue to convey her message of a well-rounded pop, contemporary Christian artist.​ Positive Pop artist with meaningful lyrics from the heart!
