I’m the co-bandleader of Lawrence, an 8-piece soul-pop band based out of New York City. 

My sister Gracie Lawrence and I are the lead singers and songwriters for the group, and the rest of the band is comprised of some of our best friends from childhood and college. 

We’ve released three albums, including most recently an album called Hotel TV . It was the first album to be released on Beautiful Mind Records, the label of Grammy-winning producer/songwriter/artist Jon Bellion, who produced the album with us. The album’s lead single, “Don’t Lose Sight,” is featured in a major Microsoft commercial, was in the Top 40 on Pop Radio (an extremely rare feat for a band that is not on a major label!). We even got to perform it on both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We’ve released two other albums (Living Room (2018) and Breakfast (2016)) that I’m equally proud of as well.

We’ve toured all over the world, selling out headline shows for thousands of people in dozens of cities across the US and beyond, opening for some of our favorite bands (Lake Street Dive, Vulfpeck, Jon Bellion, Soulive, Jacob Collier, among others), and playing at most of the major US festivals (Coachella (where we were named first in Variety’s list of “5 Top Moments from Coachella!”), Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Firefly, Bottle Rock, Hangout, Okeechobee, and tons more). We recently finished up a tour opening up for the Jonas Brothers in 60 arenas and stadiums across North America.

We just announced our upcoming album, Family Business, which will come out later this year and be accompanied by our biggest headline tour yet (including a hometown show at Radio City Music Hall!).

And our music’s been recognized in all kinds of cool different ways! We had an entire piece done about us on NPR’s All Things Considered, we’ve played on TV a handful of times (most recently on The Today Show), our music’s randomly gone extremely viral on TikTok, Reddit and other places (for reasons I can’t pretend I explain), we’ve racked up over 100 million streams across platforms, and Steph Curry has even tweeted about us… several times.

We also recently released a docuseries on YouTube (directed by our friends at Vagabonding Media) that I think does a great job of telling our story and giving a behind-the-scenes look at the unique and hands-on way that we run our business.

There’s a whole lot more, and you can check it all out at our Website, Instagram, or Spotify pages!
