  Lauren Spencer-Smith

  Lauren Spencer Smith feels everything to the utmost extreme. She isn’t afraid to cry. She won’t go quiet if she needs to yell. She doesn’t hide stress, doubt, anxiety, or anger. Rather, she runs towards these feelings, embraces them, and turns them into soulful sky-high pop anthems that you can sing along to at the top of your lungs. This emotional fearlessness has transformed the UK-born / Canadian raised singer and songwriter into a multiplatinum sensation whose voice strikes a chord with fans worldwide. Hailing from a tiny town on a remote Canadian island, Lauren learned how to sing by practicing over and over again alone in her room. “No concerts ever came to where we lived, and I didn’t grow up doing things like musical theater,” she says. After years of grinding, she independently broke through with the Platinum-certified “Fingers Crossed,”going mega-viral and landing a deal with Island / Republic Records in 2022. It paved the way for full-length debut, Mirror, which yielded the Platinum-certified “Flowers” and fan favorite “That Part”. Along the way, she lit up The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and packed houses on multiple continents during her headline The Mirror Tour. Billboard named her among its “21 under 21,” and she incited the applause of People, The Guardian, DORK, and Stereogum who christened her “Gen Z’s new favorite breakup balladeer.” Following widespread acclaim and billions of streams, she resonates more than ever on her 2025 second full-length offering, The Art of Being a Mess [Island / Republic Records], introduced by the singles “Pray” and “If Karma Doesn’t Get You (I Will).”

  Level Up

  LEVEL UP aka Sonya Broner feels most at home behind the decks. Born in Los Angeles, California she got her start in music as a battle DJ. Moving to Brooklyn, New York she studied with master turntablist Rob Swift. Traversing the boroughs as a battle DJ, Sonya was often

  lugging her vinyl records to and from shows to out-scratch her competitors. Her inspirations include legends DJ Jazzy Jeff, Funkmaster Flex, and Grandmaster Flash.

  After four years of turntablism, LEVEL UP decided to take her musical career a step further and pursue DJing electronic music, the genre she felt the most connection to. She was drawn to dubstep from the moment she heard Rusko, Caspa and Skream.

  On the live front, she was mesmerized by Porter Robinson and his ability to evoke emotion. Soon after discovering bass music, LEVEL UP dove into music production. Continuously crafting her sound is what makes her feel the happiest and is her truest form of self expression.

  While at the beginning of her journey, she has already gone on to release music on Deadbeats, GRVDNCR, and Buygore, with much more in the pipeline.

  A theatre actress in her youth, her storytelling ability is evident through her music: unfathomably heavy wubs and wobbles, and tricky doubles leave the audience energized and ready for more.

  She has since gone on a national tour with Subtronics, and graced the stages of Lost Lands, Electric Forest, High Caliber, and more.
