A lifelong musician, Lauren Wanamaker began writing and performing original music at a young age, gaining additional experience in school bands and church ensembles.

A debut EP was released under a former name in 2011, followed by several live appearances in Washington, then an extended hiatus from performance and writing.

Reemerging under the stage name WOMAN ALIVE from 2020 - 2022, her latest EP, Rest & Reprieve has since been released—the first under her full name, LAUREN WANAMAKER.
