It's been almost a decade since Lauren Thalia caught the judge's attention on ITV 's Britain's Got Talent in 2012.
She took to the stage, aged just 12-years-old, to perform with her guitar - in the sixth series of the talent show, which was later won by the dog trick act Ashleigh and Pudsey.
Nine years later, Lauren is almost unrecognisable in posts on social media as she pursues a career combining yoga, music and pole dancing, according to The Sun this week.
The outlet reports that she describes herself on Instagram as an "earth angel energy" who is "on a mission to assist in the healing of [herself] and others."
She's said to be seen in photos on her page showing off her abilities whilst encouraging others to practice self-love.
Lauren - now a "yogi, pole dancer, songwriter and tea lover" - was a contender to win BGT almost a decade ago though, after auditioning with a rendition of 'Turn My Swag On.'
Accompanied by her guitar, the youngster performed the Keri Hilson version of the track, with the performance impressing the judging panel on the popular ITV series.
David Walliams said he "really liked it," referring to her as "like a very small Alanis Morissette." Whilst Alesha Dixon said she was "adorable," adding: "That was very well done."
Guest judge Carmen Electra seemed to be particularly impressed with Lauren's rendition, praising in response to the performance: "Britain really does have talent. You rock."
Simon Cowell said: "I like the fact that your guitar was too big for you [and] that you couldn't play it that well. And that there was a little break in your voice. But actually it made it more believable."
All four judges voted for Lauren to proceed to the next stage, performing Labrinth's 'Earthquake' in the first semi-final. She however was eliminated during this round and therefore failed to make it any further in the competition.
Since appearing on the show, Lauren has supported the likes of Leona Lewis, Nina Nesbitt and Newton Faulkner. She even released an EP, titled Wonderland, back in 2013.
The Sun reports that she was more recently part of a four-piece band called Laulia. It's understood that they disbanded earlier this year, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Lauren told her followers on social media: "Lockdown has given us a brief moment in time, a gap in our vast but also tiny existence to slow down and turn inward."
She added: "It's given us a little space in time to reflect, and as a result has sadly meant that we have decided to go our separate ways." Lauren said she would be "going solo and exploring [herself]."
