Lauren Lee is a NYC based Vocalist, Pianist and Composer. Her eclectic style has been compared to the likes of Bjork, Stereolab and TuNeYaRdS. She has wowed audiences and critics on four continents with her vocal improvisation abilities using a technique she calls “vocal instrumentalism”. Her recent release, “The Consciousness Test”, is an 8 part homage to the inner workings of the human brain, exploring topics as innocuous as emotion and as damaging as debilitating mental illness while showcasing her ability to seamless integrate both piano and voice in intricate improvisational lines with band mates Charley Sabatino, bass, and Andy O’Neill, drums. She is currently working on an intimate solo venture featuring guided meloidc improvisation using her own texts in English, French, and German.
