Lauren Sauer keeps her eye on everything new and upcoming in the music world as a self-professed fangirl – if it’s happening on social media she probably already knew about it. An avid supporter of artists in the indie and singer-songwriter space, she's looking to shine a spotlight on the underrepresented voices of music any way she can. She lives in Washington, DC with her menace of a cat, Freddie (after Freddie Mercury, of course).
