Lauren K.

As a vocalist, synth-player, composer, and producer,I use my knowledge and experience in technology based professions to explore the relationship between music and tech.

As a “synth-enthusiast”, I have cultivated a vivid musical aesthetic under the moniker mini bear, with which I have written, produced, and released 2 EPs and 1 full length album. Illustrating a sound rich in 80s referenced romantic nostalgia, mini bear has garnered praise and recognition from respected media such as Grimy Goods, Impose Magazine and international indie press. She currently is an active performer in Los Angeles who has played in local venues such as Resident, The Hi Hat, Bootleg Theatre, Moroccan Lounge, and The Satellite.

In addition to my experience working in Tech, my role as a teacher has also grown over the span of 10+ years. As a Creative Trainer at the Apple store, I have taught customers computer skills and Pro-Apple software such as Logic Pro in both private one-on-one and workshop settings. I have been producing in Ableton Live for the past four years, and I have done consulting sessions to determine work efficiency. Content and teaching styles are customized based upon the learners skills and learning styles.
