Lauren Abedini, widely known by her artist moniker KITTENS, has established herself as dynamic force within the music, fashion, and beauty industries over the past decade. Her multifaceted profile as a DJ, music producer, host, content creator, creative strategist, and intersectional advocate, positions her as a standout figure with a profound impact and understanding across various creative domains.
Growing up on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Lauren ventured into the local nightlife and music scene at an early age, stoking her creative flame. With her vast knowledge and relentless curiosity for music, KITTENS established herself as a tastemaker and trail blazer for women in dance music. Her infectious DJ sets garnered support from some of the most influential artists of our time, including Usher, Kid Cudi, Skrillex and
A-Trak while earning opportunities to DJ the most coveted stages, from iconic global festivals including Coachella and EDC, to residencies in Las Vegas.
As an Iranian- American, queer, woman, KITTENS is unapologetic about her intersectional identity. She has used this fearlessness to inspire other women through her podcast SHE/HER/THEY and charity driven DJ workshops, PWR.
Through SHE/HER/THEY, Lauren has crafted a unique space where listeners andtop notch guests,such as iconic musicians Demi Lovato & Kehlani, and esteemed actors Sarah Shahi & Alexandra Shipp, are nurtured to embark on a journey of unfiltered authenticity exploration. Candid dialogue around themes of identity, gender, sexuality, career, and creativity take center stage, empowering listeners to free themselves from societal expectations in pursuit of genuine happiness.
While PWR offers women and gender expansive folks a place to explore new creative endeavors in a safe and encouraging space. Through both of these projects, KITTENS is able to empower those who have gone through life without feeling seen to explore identity and life without boundaries.
Lauren's prowess in crafting thoughtful social, creative, and music strategies has led to impactful collaborations with globally renowned brands, including YSL Beauté, Adidas, Tiffany & Co., Amazon Music, Moncler, Dior, Coach, HBO, and more.
Whether commanding main stages at Coachella, orchestrating insightful conversations with A-List talent on her podcast, or championing educational initiatives for marginalized communities, Lauren keeps inclusivity and cultural impact as her guiding light.
