Lauren & Torin weave the masculine and the feminine into a beautiful fusion.

Torin Frost is a freestylist from the Pacific Northwest who’s been improvising rhymes since the recess lines. He combines thrilling improvisation and intricate lyricism with catchy melodies over a myriad of sounds. From singing odes to the elderberries, to rapping flows for the lion’s mane, he’s been weaving a mycelial web of Northwest herbal hip-hop. Torin is a Lorax in the rap game, from Standing Rock to the Oak Flat to Fairy Creek, he’s been using his music and platform to spread awareness about the desecration of these sacred lands. Frost and his band, The Patterns of Saturn, are simply singular-  an unforgettable musical celebration and revelation.

From headlining large festivals to serenading intimate tea lounges, Torin’s bilingual flow stretches seamlessly from vibrant salsa ensembles to smooth spoken word poetry. He helped form the Tequilafunk band ‘Reposado’ in 2016, playing many local gigs and touring the country twice. He then started the band Torin Frost & the Patterns of Saturn and has been headlining multiple festivals in the PNW such as the 50 year continuing Okanogan Family Faire. His solo career has landed performances in Iceland, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Canada, and is now heading towards a European Tour in 2026. The improvisational aspect of the performance allows every song to be malleable and connected directly to the surrounding environment. Torin often uses words and themes from the crowd that curate a one of a kind show at each location. Whether it’s barefoot on a big stage, or in the backyard around a small campfire, Frost’s present & profound expression can only be truly experienced in the flesh. Stream of consciousness music is reflected and connected directly with the listener. No matter the size of the crowd, Frost curates an intimate and interactive experience that’s been compared by elders to the Summer of Love and San Francisco in the 60’s.

Torin often takes the stage with vocal accompaniment from Chicago-bred soul singer, Lauren Santi. With a voice described as “mud honey,” and undeniable chemistry with Torin, Santi infuses their music with divinely feminine, smooth and powerfully gospelic tones that pair beautifully with his energizing bars and beats. Santi is not new to hip hop, having sung on countless rappers’ songs including Drake, J. Cole, Jack Harlow and Russ. Santi is a songstress on her own, with a world of sound to express and also an incredibly keen ability to improvise. Lauren & Torin weave the masculine and the feminine into a beautiful fusion.

This Aquarius/Gemini combo is a musical match made in heaven, and the Pacific Northwest is excited to see this artistic garden blossom.
