Lauren Biggs is a California-based composer and musician creating lush, vocal-driven music.
Lauren Biggs (2002) is a California-based composer, producer, and singer/songwriter. She grew up in Anchorage, AK listening to The Beatles, CCM, Russian folk, jazz, R&B, film scores, video game soundtracks and more, performing as a trombonist in her school’s jazz and concert bands, leading worship at church, and producing and releasing music under the pseudonym Laureli Amadeus. She has a deep love for composition, her style having been described by friends as ethereal, innovative, and historically detailed. Some of her favorite composers are Georgy Sviridov, Eriks Esenvalds, and Ravel. Her playlists also include Hozier, Sufjan Stevens, Amber Run, and The Oh Hellos.
While pursuing her BM in Composition at Azusa Pacific University (APU), Lauren has developed an unyielding passion for vocal-driven music. Her commissions have been performed by Cal State Fullerton University Singers (dir. Rob Istad) at the 2024 Western Region ACDA conference, APU Bel Canto Women's Choir (dir. Brandon DiNoto), the Kosovo Philharmonic Choir (dir. Hajrullah Syla), and talented soloists.
Lauren’s goal as a composer is to tell meaningful stories, spread joy through collaborative music-making, and to create and share her art as an act of reverence to a higher power.
"Working with Lauren was a joy because she is an excellent communicator, very professional, extremely organized, and entirely dedicated to creating meaningful music. She met with me to discuss the range and musical characteristics that sit well in my voice and worked tirelessly to design a piece that would both suit my voice and remain true to the text. The end product beautifully captured the meaning and mood of the selected poetry."

“Lauren is the most dedicated musician and composer I have ever met. She spends hours each day pouring her heart out into perfecting each composition, and treats everyone who works with her with the utmost respect and kindness. I have had the honor to sing on one of her compositions and I was in awe of the detail she put into every measure. If you give Lauren a task, she will do it with excitement.”
- Mikey Loera, baritone
