In Celebration of Juneteenth Weekend and Pride Month, DMV Native Singer/Songwriter, Rebekah Laur’en Will Release her New EP
13 June 2022 - This Juneteenth weekend, Rebekah Laur’en, a local DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) native singer, songwriter, producer, and composer will be releasing her independent musical project entitled "Smoke & Mirrors (The EP)" at an event held at Creative Suitland in Maryland, June 17th, 7:00 p.m.
As the founder of Sound Proof IV, LLC, an independent record label, Laur’en used her classical, lyric soprano voice training from Westminster Choir College, to transition to an alternative R&B artist, creating original music with a unique sound and style.
“I grew up with my mother waking me and my sister up playing the song ‘Lovely Day’ by Bill Withers every Saturday morning. That song still brings back the feelings of love I felt as a child that can’t be explained by words. I want my music to do that to others, be it feelings of love, change, pain, understanding, etc. I want to touch hearts and connect with people through my music,” said Laur’en. “I’m super excited to work with Michael Bowie of FamForte Productions. We worked on the song ‘Quicksand’ together, and honestly I’m excited to continue working with him.”
Laur’en is also an artist partner with Creative Suitland Arts Center, a non-profit organization that is making positive changes for children of all ages and backgrounds in and around their community using creative arts. Laur’en keeps herself involved in her community and teaches anti-violence themed songwriting workshops for children every Saturday this summer at Creative Suitland, to aid in the city's anti-violence mission for young teens in the DMV area.

“The workshops I teach at Creative Suitland have been amazing! I love working with children, especially teenagers. They are my favorite age group simply because they’re discovering themselves as individuals. Showing them how to embrace their emotions is major but teaching them to channel their emotions in a healthy, non-violent manner, using music and words; It shows them their emotions are real and they are fully in control of their emotions just as they are in control of the songs they write,” said Laur’en.
The Smoke & Mirrors EP contains 4 original songs and will be available on all major streaming platforms with the opportunity to pre-order June 15th.
