EXCLUSIVE BLOG by Auburn: Independent Woman

Hi, Im Auburn... I'd say the best way I'd describe myself in a nutshell is as a Songwriter/Singer/Rapper/Dork. I was born in Minneapolis, MN and raised in Saint Paul. In my mom's house there was no such thing as secular music. Since I was a child, my mom only allowed Gospel music in the house …with Whitney and Celine being the only acceptations.

I loved the emotion in every singers voice. Loved it so much I'd try and mimic every riff until it felt comfortable enough for me to sing the words with my own emotion. I started singing at four as a little girl in church and now I'm just a bigger girl in LA.

When I was sixteen, I stumbled across Myspace after a cousin told me how 'out of the loop' I was. I noticed there was an option for Music and I was just so excited because it was free! lol. My fans - being the most genuine and most supportive fans ever - pushed the music as they listened and told their friends about me, and then those people told their friends to check out my page. Later in 2007, Tommy Rotem, an A&R at Beluga Heights, came across my page. They flew me out to LA and I've been here making music ever since.
