Lauren Babic (born December 9, 1990) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and musician from Toronto, Ontario. She is the lead vocalist of Canadian progressive metal band Red Handed Denial and international post-hardcore collaboration trio CrazyEightyEight.[1] Since joining Red Handed Denial in 2008, the band has released two full-length albums Redeemer (2019)[2] and Stories of Old (2013) and two extended plays Wanderer (2016) and Eyes and Liquid Skies (2009).

Babic also pursues solo music endeavours, having started her eponymous YouTube channel in 2009 where she posts original music, covers, vocal instructional videos[4], and other music related content that has since garnered over 400,000 subscribers.[5] On July 24, 2020, she released her first solo original pop extended play entitled Silence Is The Only Sound.[6]
Babic is also a certified OCT teacher.[7] She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Education degree from Nipissing University.[8] She did not want to pursue music academically because of the formalities and lack of creativity.[9][8] Babic is a self-taught vocalist and she has stated that the first time she ever sang in front of other people was during her audition for her band Red Handed Denial.[10][11][8]
