Lauryn is the youngest writer on the Loudwire staff, and has the oldest taste in music. She'll chew your ear off about rockers ranging from Jim Morrison to Chris Cornell, and don't even get her started on Guns N' Roses. Her writing journey began as a freelancer for Alternative Nation, which eventually led her to Loudwire, where she prides herself on being an old soul.
