Lauren Harris

Lauren Harris (6th july 1984) is the oldest daughter of Iron Maiden leader/founding member Steve Harris. Lauren literally grew up on music and was constantly around the music industry. It was only natural that Lauren wanted to sing and hopefully one day make her own mark as an artist. Lauren had just started singing in London area pubs when legendary British producer-writer-artist Russ Ballard noticed her one night and asked to hire her to sing in the studio as the female voice for the new material he was writing.

Lauren had just started singing in London area pubs when legendary British producer-writer-artist Russ Ballard noticed her one night and asked to hire her to sing in the studio as the female voice for the new material he was writing. Not knowing at the time who he was, Lauren was just thrilled for the chance to sing in the studio and earn the money he was offering. Russ also had no idea that Lauren was Steve Harris's daughter. The recording went off without a hitch and what turned out to be Lauren's first time singing in the studio was a great success. This affirmation of her ability only cemented in Lauren's mind that this was the life she would lead and the goals that she would aspire to.

In March of 2005 Lauren started working with Monstro Visionary Entertainment and is currently recording her debut CD with Multi-Grammy nominated writer/producer Tom McWilliams. As the year grew on Lauren put together a live band and started gigging around Florida refining her stagecraft around recording sessions. In the fall of 2005, Lauren and her band returned to the U.K. and played a series of dates in the greater London area.

As news of these dates started to circulate around the Internet, this awoke the massive Iron Maiden Fan base. And Lauren who was ?flying under the radar? to this point was now big news. People overloaded the web site and with the addition of her very popular myspace page Lauren has received well over four million hits to date.
