Check Out Lauren Diamond’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lauren Diamond.

Hi Lauren, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Lauren Diamond. My biggest passion is music. I play guitar, piano and ukulele. I was residing in NYC for 11 years and performing at a ton of live music venues before moving to ATX. During this time, I received my Master’s Degree in Post Secondary Education. I was initially going to get my doctorate degree to teach in a college setting and instead I found my love for working with children. I get a deep joy in teaching them my biggest love and believe that they could achieve the message I’m teaching them with the joy that comes out into the classroom. Currently, I’m releasing my 6th Music Video called “I Love.” My music can be found on all digital platforms including: Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora Radio, SoundCloud, CD Baby, etc. When I’m not teaching, I’m learning, practicing, performing or surrounding myself with loved ones.

One of my proudest moments was being a part of a compilation record known as “Occupy This Album,” which includes many well-known names such as: Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, Joan Baez, Third Eye Blind, and many more. I wrote the song about the struggle of the 1% of the population who barely get by to make it day by day. My biggest dream is to write for movies/film/TV and commercials. I’ve been told that my truest talent is in songwriting and all I know is I enjoy it and could truly lose myself in the art of doing it. I train young students on piano, teach vocals and perform as many gigs as I can to get my music heard. If you want to know more, check out my website: www.laurenbdiamondmusic.com

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The biggest struggles for me was finding the balance between work and music. Prior to teaching, I was bartending to make the rent while perform my music with a full band on the other nights. Through this experience, my biggest joy of music became “work.” I think keep it a joy and not a job is important. It’s why I do it. Another struggle is making sure I keep my focus and not letting other things get in the way to keep me on path.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My music is raw, deep, and vulnerable. I write super relatable songs that I like to connect to people on a deeper level with. I specialize in vocals/songwriting. I’m most proud of my musical releases on Spotify and other digital platforms and continual growth in musicianship.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I improv a lot of songs and could come up with tunes within minutes; it’s my favorite challenge.
