Press Bio

Lauren Toyota is a self-proclaimed TV junkie and obsessive music fan. The Mississauga, Ontario native brings her incredible music knowledge and skills in production to the MuchMusic team.

Realizing her passion for music and entertainment at an early age, Lauren attended Durham College achieving her diploma in Music Business Management. After college, Lauren moved to Vancouver to start her career in television and quickly established herself as one of the most recognizable media personalities and music authorities on the West Coast. She spent two years honing her skills as a host and producer at RAZER's youth and lifestyle magazine show, 969. This opportunity started her career and helped show Lauren's insatiable love for music, fashion, and all things pop culture leading her to other sweet gigs in TV and radio.

Lauren was also host of the musically driven TV series ETHNOSONIC, the west coast correspondent for FASHIONTELEVISION, and served as a guest expert on CFUN 1410. She's also no stranger to a red carpet, having conducted countless interviews at THE JUNO AWARDS, The Toronto International Film Festival, and the MuchMusic Video Awards.

Lauren's honest, open-minded approach and charming personality has landed her some A-list interviews and helped her win over some of the biggest names in entertainment. Kanye West, the cast of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, Lady Gaga, Cyndi Lauper, comedian Seth MacFarlane, deadmau5, NHL pro Jeremy Roenick, and fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg are just a few of the names she uses in dinner party conversation!
