I've got my first American guest on the show today. Welcome Lauren Daigle!

"I'm just taking this homeless lady to get a hotel room and she knows who I am and my music changed her daughter's life. So, when you ask 'what it's like to see the impact?' - it stops me in my tracks."

Lauren has forged a unique sound that is as soulful and heart-in-throat vulnerable as she is. Bold and moving, Lauren’s music and its meaningful message has touched and resonated with legions of loyal fans scattered across the globe, in the process amassing over 1.8 billion streams, 817 million views on Youtube and 1.5 million Instagram followers. And not one but two Grammys.

We chat about the early days, the crossover of genres and finding a fan in none other than pop-queen Selena Gomez.
