Lauren Nelson, affectionately known as Lauren Chanel, is a native of Atlanta Georgia.

Not a stranger to the Arts, Lauren comes from a musical family of entertainers. She started singing in her family choir as a little girl, and had no idea where that would lead her. Lauren has piqued the interest of many executives in the entertainment industry because of her ability to be diverse in character portrayal, her youthful appearance, and bright personality.

She graduated from Cobb County Center of Excellence in Performing Arts at Pebblebrook High School, where she was trained to read music, sing various genres of music, dance both ballet and lyrical, and trained in stage/theater acting. Lauren rounded out her training over the last 10 years as a student of AGI Entertainment, where she learned to be a triple threat. They honed in on her TV/film acting, expanded her dance repertoire to hip hop and modern, and challenged her vocally. In strengthening her acting by training with Zak Barnett, Tracy Lynch, and Cyrah Hill, it's no doubt that she is doing great work.

Needless to say, we now get to enjoy the fruit of her labor, and that of her team; which consist of J Pervis Talent agency, Natarsha Garcia of AGI Management, and Cheryl Martin of CMA Entertainment. Some of Lauren's recent professional performances include: Hairspray as Little Inez, Ti'Moune in the Once On This Island tour, and Lorel in Dreamgirls. She is looking to do much more on the stage and in TV/film. So be on the look out for this dynamic star, with a huge personality...Lauren Chanel Nelson.
