McLaughlin is a 24-year-old Indiana-based singer who grew up in a home surrounded by music. His siblings played piano, and he began taking classical lessons at age 4. But it wasn’t until he was 18 years old that he realized he could start blending his skill with his love for pop music.
McLaughlin attended Anderson University School of Music and began to write songs. In June 2005, he went into the studio to record his first album. He just finished recording his latest album, “Indiana,” and can be seen performing on a ballroom stage in the movie, “Enchanted.”
