About Me

I grew up in Connecticut, went to college in Fredonia, and now I live in New York City. I work full time and write songs. Then, I sing those songs. I've generally kept this to myself for most of my life, but then I realized that if I want to have a music career of any sort I should let other people hear them. Still getting used to that idea, so bear with me; I'm working on it.

My debut album appearance is on Sleepthief's The Dawnseeker as the singer and writer of the song "Afterthoughts." The CD is in stores, like Barnes & Noble and Virgin Megastores, and available online from sites such as Amazon.com.

My second album appearance is on Delta-S's Voyage to Isis, which is now available at cdbaby.com . The song I am in (and co-wrote with Delta-S) is called "The Summoning of the Sea."

My official website is laurenedman.com .
