Lauren Abedini, better known as KITTENS, has spent over a decade carving out space where music, culture, and creativity intersect. What started behind the decks has evolved into a multifaceted career as a DJ, music producer, content creator, educator, host, and creative strategist. She moves fluidly between festival stages, brand partnerships, and education, working with YSL Beauté, Dior, Adidas, Tiffany & Co., Amazon Music, Coach, and HBO to turn culture into experiences that feel both authentic and unforgettable.

Raised on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Lauren came up in the city’s nightlife scene and quickly earned a reputation as a tastemaker in dance music. Her sets (intuitive, technical, and rooted in a true love of discovery) have been championed by Usher, Kid Cudi, Skrillex, and A-Trak, leading to performances at Coachella, EDC, and Las Vegas residencies.

As a queer, Iranian-American woman, her experience fuels her commitment to building platforms where others who feel overlooked can be seen and celebrated. Her podcast SHE/HER/THEY brings guests like Demi Lovato, Kehlani, Sarah Shahi, and Alexandra Shipp into candid conversations about identity, gender, and creativity. Her DJ workshop series PWR offers women and gender-expansive people a supportive space to explore creative paths and claim their place in the industry.

At the heart of everything she does is the same drive that first pulled her into music. Curiosity, connection, and a belief that creativity can change how people see themselves and each other.
