Chad Lawson
World-renowned pianist Chad Lawson has profoundly reshaped the role that music plays in our daily lives. On his luminous new album breathe, the Steinway artist expands on the intentionality he brought to his 2020 effort You Finally Knew, transforming his decidedly modern take on classical music into a conduit for stillness, serenity, and self-reflection. Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios (the same facility where he recorded YFK, whose standout track “Stay” has held steady in the top 25 on the Billboard Classical chart for over 100 weeks), breathe ultimately establishes Lawson as an essential voice exploring the intersection of music and wellness. Lawson began classical training in piano as a child and later developed a thriving career as a jazz pianist, but eventually felt compelled to follow a new direction in his music. As his audience grew exponentially, Lawson soon found himself featured on the likes of CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s All Things Considered, in addition to turning out a series of #1 releases and landing high-profile sync placements with such shows as The Walking Dead and Viceland. Recently, Lawson has widened his reach with the launch of his Calm It Down podcast. A fully independent one-man show, Calm It Down finds Lawson expounding on an inspired range of topics (forgiveness and anxiety, butterflies and Snoopy), setting his insightful yet charmingly candid ruminations against a tranquil backdrop of his own solo piano music.
