Bio
Lauren Dair Owens is an American singer-songwriter and actress best known for her recurring role as Young Jess in the television sitcom New Girl, in 2011.
Owens was born in Anchorage, Alaska. At an early age she showed an interest in music and instruments. She started taking piano at the age of 5 and started vocal lessons at age 7. Lauren auditioned and got lead parts in several productions.
Her real interest in Acting blossomed the summer she turned 8 and went to LA to attend an acting camp. Out of over 200 kids at the camp who went to audition for a feature film, Lauren received her first call back (with no head shots or resume).
From there, she knew that Acting was something she wanted to pursue. By the age of 9, multiple instructors in Alaska were taking notice and recommended that Lauren go to LA to pursue acting.
When Lauren turned 10 years old she began spending 4-6 months a year auditioning in LA. She began to appear in short films and continued to work on her music, recording 10 original songs and working with many music producers.
Lauren's solo EP, No Apologies was released on 27 August, 2011 and she performed and promoted it throughout California, Alaska and Texas. Lauren also helped write and stared in the pilot, Kids Quest, which is a cross between iCarly and an Reality Adventure Show such as The Last Great Race.
Lauren has her goals set to book a movie, continue to record and write her Alternative Rock Style music and attend UCLA earning a degree in Marketing.
