In this episode, Lauren Abøn Pedersen, a Danish-Canadian singer, songwriter, and composer, shared her journey and experiences with following her creativity and living intentionally.

About Abøn

Danish-Canadian singer, songwriter and composer, Lauren, known as Abøn, was first a professional dancer, biochemist, and ultimately chose music, combining her dance and movement artistry through her work in film. Growing up in the Canadian prairies, Abøn studied classical piano and later went on to learn guitar, bass, cello and drums on her own in various bands, quickly discovering her passion for writing and arranging. She began “The Willows” a vocal jazz trio, where she was the writer and arranger. After performing and touring internationally for many years from North America to Russia, her musical curiosity continued to evolve, and she began to explore a new world of sound through the origin of Abøn.

Abøn is a genre defying artist, described best by her gentle yet captivating vocals, lush string
arrangements, and harmonious movement, bringing a classical canvas to her pop-infused
melodies. She brings a sense of peacefulness and honesty to her listeners, and evokes
imagination, bringing her audience to a world of wonder and fantasy.
