Lauren Daigle’s “You Say”-‘n Rekord | A Record!

Grammy Award winner Lauren Daigle’s single “You Say” has topped the Christian music charts for 62 weeks – a record! In January 2020, this powerhouse will go on her first world tour (Lauren Daigle World Tour) and she will tour 44 cities, starting in Melbourne, Australia.
You Say won Daigle the Grammy for “Best Contemporary Christian Music and Performance” in February 2019 and her album “Look Up Child” won “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album” at the same ceremony. Of “You Say”, Daigle says that her songs, “spread the message of hope and unity, and that given the ‘crazy times’ in the world right now, people want to have love and truth to hold on to.”
Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, Daigle was singing around the house at a young age. When she was 15-years old, a serious illness (Cytomegalovirus, an immune disease) had her homebound for two years, where she was home schooled. During this time she began to serve as Praise and Worship leader at her local church. She tried out for American Idols in 2010 and 2012 and learnt some valuable lessons as a result.
After school, she studied Child and Family Studies at Louisiana State University. She helped a local band to record a song, the song made it to the Centricity Music label and Daigle was signed as a solo artist in 2013. Her first album, “How Can It Be” was very successful. Thereafter she recorded an album with Christmas songs (Behold), and her third album “Look Up Child” was even more successful than the first! The rest, as they say, is history!
