Lauren “LOLO” Pritchard is a force of nature—an artist, songwriter, actress, mom and unapologetic champion of people. With a music catalogue surpassing 2 billion streams, her songs have echoed from the biggest arenas to the smallest dive bars, soundtracking heartbreaks, rebellions, and triumphs.
At just 18, LOLO made her Broadway debut originating the role of Ilse in the eight-time Tony Award–winning musical Spring Awakening—a performance that marked the beginning of a career built on emotional truth and fearless storytelling. That same raw authenticity would later define her work as a recording artist, with four full-length albums including “Wasted in Jackson” (2010), “In Loving Memory Of When I Gave A Shit” (2016), and “X” (2021), which hit #1 on the iTunes Blues chart. Her singles — “Hit and Run,” “Shine,” and “Wild”— further showcase a voice that can soothe and soar in the same breath.
Behind the scenes, LOLO’s songwriting has shaped modern pop and rock in undeniable ways. She co-wrote “Miss Jackson” for Panic! At The Disco and her continued collaboration with Panic! At The Disco earned her a 2017 Grammy nomination as well as a 2020 BMI Award as co-writer of their global smash “High Hopes”. In 2021, she returned to her theatrical roots starring in and co-producing Those You’ve Known: Spring Awakening, the HBO Max documentary chronicling the cultural impact of the groundbreaking musical that started it all.
Offstage, LOLO’s heart beats loudest for her community. In 2015, she launched the LOLO Christmas Show benefiting RIFA Jackson’s Snack Backpack Program. Over the past decade, the event has raised more than $300,000 to combat childhood food insecurity in West Tennessee. Now based in her hometown of Jackson, Tennessee, LOLO balances global hits with hometown heart. She lives with her son Xander, her partner Leslie, and their many rescue animals.
