Shame - Music

"My Name Is Lauren. I'm A Girl. I Play The Guitar. I Have A White Cat Named Lola. I Hate Static Electricity And Mosquitoes. I Love Chuck Taylors And Guacamole. This All Started In A Mid-Western Living Room Watching Lawrence Welk Re-Runs. I Guess I Mean I Know It Was The Girls Wearing Pretty Dresses. That Was My First Concern. But They Were Also Smiling Really Big Singing Really Cheesy Songs...And There Was A Bubble Machine At The End Of It All. I Was Hooked. That Was My Fate I Decided. I Was Close. I Took A Detour To Berklee College Of Music. It Was There That I Got Scared And Brave At The Same Time. I Learned More Than I Ever Thought Possible Doubted Myself More Than I Ever Had Before And Started To Truly Believe That Anything Was Possible All At The Same Time. After Graduation A Fleeting Bout Of Practicality Led Me To New York City Working For One Of The Largest Music Companies In The World. I Was Still Operating Under The Belief System That I Needed To Act Safe Make Guaranteed Money And Work Hard. Looking Back I Can See That I Only Had One Out Of The Three Right. After Years Of Thinking It Was Pretty Normal To Cry During Every Musical Performance I Attended Now Affectionately Known As Jealous Tears I Had A Wake-Up Call. An Epiphany If You Will. And When It Happened There Was No Turning Back. If I Told You How Close To A Bolt Of Lightening It Felt You Wouldn't Believe Me. But If And When You Experience Your Own You'll Know. Turns Out I Had Been Running Away From What Scared Me The Most...And What Coincidently Was Most Important To Me. Once I Realized That It Was Pretty Easy To Quit My Nine-To-Five And Start Planning. I Took A Little Break To Write My First EP Flew Out To L.A. To Record It And The Rest Is All Happening As We Speak. I Believe That Everything Falls Into Place If You Are Following Your Heart. So Here's To Hoping We Really Can Be Anything We Want To Be When We Grow Up " - Lauren Zettler *Official Website Http //www.Laurenzettler.Com
