About

American Idol, Lauren Mascitti

With a voice as pure as her heartland roots and a songwriting talent well beyond her years, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Lauren Mascitti is fast becoming one of country music’s most compelling new voices.

Millions first discovered Lauren during her unforgettable run on American Idol in 2020, but her journey as an artist began long before national television. A musical prodigy, Lauren was writing songs and performing by age 7, and by her teens was already captivating audiences six nights a week in Branson, Missouri alongside gospel legend and original Oak Ridge Boy, Gary McSpadden.

Since moving to Nashville from her hometown of Louisville, Ohio, Lauren has built an impressive resume that reads like a veteran’s dream — sharing stages and writing rooms with icons like Pam Tillis, Matraca Berg, Suzy Bogguss, Delbert McClinton, and Lonestar. She performed with Brad Paisley and Shania Twain in a nationally televised concert honoring healthcare heroes during the pandemic — a nod to her own background as a registered nurse.

Lauren’s heartfelt songwriting and soaring vocals have earned her coveted performances on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage and secured opening slots on tour with Lonestar, including their historic first headlining show at the Iconic Ryman Auditorium.

Her breakout album God Made a Woman earned critical acclaim, landing on The New York Times and Saving Country Music’s Best Albums of 2020 lists and climbing to #4 on the iTunes Country Albums chart.

Now, with a brand new project produced by Dean Sams (founding member of Lonestar) on the way, Lauren Mascitti stands poised on the edge of a major breakthrough — bringing her timeless country sound, powerful stories, and undeniable authenticity to fans across the country.

 

Gorgeous, classic, and classy.
