Lauren Michelle Jauregui (/ˈhaʊ.rɛɡi/; born June 27, 1996) is an American singer, best known as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Jauregui has been featured on songs by Marian Hill, Halsey, Ty Dolla Sign, and Steve Aoki.

Early life

Jauregui was born on June 27, 1996 in Miami, Florida to Michael Jauregui and Clara Morgado, who are both from Cuba.[1][2][3] Her father is a plant manager, and her mother is a teacher, who moved to the United States when Fidel Castro came to power.[4][3] She has two younger siblings. Jauregui said that she can trace her family lineage back to Cuba and Spain.[5]

She attended Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart, an all-girls school in Miami, where she participated in extracurricular activities including the softball team and talent show.[6][7] Since her childhood, her musical influences include Journey, Paramore, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and Lana Del Rey.[3][8]

Career

In 2012, at the age of 16, Jauregui auditioned for the second season of the American version of The X Factor in Greensboro, North Carolina with the song "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. Her performance was described as “perfect” by Antonio Reid, who considered Jauregui had a "husky, round, mature" voice at age 16.[9] During the second round of bootcamp, she was put up against country group Sister C with the song "These Arms of Mine". After failing to make it as a solo artist, Jauregui was brought back alongside Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Camila Cabello, who were put together and formed as a group by Simon Cowell. The group, later named Fifth Harmony, went on to finish third in the competition.

Fifth Harmony released their debut EP, Better Together in 2013, their first album Reflection in January 2015, and their second album 7/27 in May 2016. Their eponymous third album, and first as a foursome, Fifth Harmony was released in August 2017. Their first two albums generated the singles "Worth It" and "Work from Home", respectively, which reached the top 10 in several national charts. The group also contributed music to the soundtrack of the animated film Hotel Transylvania 2 with their song "I'm in Love with a Monster".

After the release of "Work from Home", Jauregui continued with Fifth Harmony and her solo endeavors, as individual members started to launch solo projects outside the group. In December 2016, she was featured on a single titled "Back to Me" with Marian Hill.[10] Jauregui was voted by the public as "Celebrity of the Year" at the 2017 British LGBT Awards.[11] She was later featured Halsey's album hopeless fountain kingdom on the track "Strangers".[12] A Billboard writer noted it as "a long-overdue bisexual milestone in mainstream music."[13] The singer specifically chose Jauregui for the track, instead of working with a straight artist: "I just love that Lauren [Jauregui] and I are just two women who have a mainstream pop presence doing a love song for the LGBTQ community."[14] Jauregui also recorded collaborations on "All Night" with Steve Aoki and on "In Your Phone" with Ty Dolla Sign.[15]Jauregui was voted as the sexiest woman in top 100 list Afterellen.com 2016.[16]

Activism

Jauregui is politically outspoken and actively involved in protests.[17] She has written several open letters since the 2016 United States presidential election, criticizing Donald Trump and his policies, including the "Muslim ban", calling it "disrespectful to humanity."[2][18]

She penned an open letter to members of the Republican Party, which was published by Billboard on November 18, 2016, stating that she is bisexual and called-out Trump supporters: "your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we’ve made socially as a nation."[2][19] She is also a self-proclaimed feminist.[20]
