Lauren Taveras

With nearly three million views on YouTube, 12-year-old Lauren Taveras is an emerging music artist who has been nominated "Best New Unsigned Artist of the Year" by Tween Pop Radio. Her debut album, "Destiny," recorded when she was just 11 years old, showcases the confidence of this emerging Pop and R&B artist. Produced by Billboard(TM) album of the year winner and multi-platinum producer of "High School Musical" Andrew Lane and voice coach Nick Cooper, who has coached Beyonce, Lauren Taveras's "Destiny" demonstrates a voice talent reminiscent of a younger Katy Perry or Adele. In addition to being an artist of Latin origin, Lauren emphasizes her inner soul with Rihanna tones in the lower register, and a dance vibe attuned to the beat of Nicki Minaj. Friendly with the camera and represented by Kazarian/Spencer/Ruskin (KSR), Lauren is also an emerging young television and film actress, starring in Disney Channel's "My Family Tree" and the new Discovery Channel television series "The Exorcist Files."
