  6. Hello! My name is Lauren Mayhew.

    My music video “What You Don’t Know” stars SICK SIDESWIPE martial artist Matt Mullins. (Sideswipe has their own show in Vegas, they did all the martial arts for Britney Spears Tour, and they tour the world!)

    My song from the music video has aired on MTV’s “Taking the Stage.”

    I was thinking you might want to feature the video on your site!

    Enjoy!
