World-renowned pianist, podcaster, and certified breathwork coach Chad Lawson has profoundly reshaped the role that music plays in our daily lives. With his new album Where We Are, the Steinway artist presents solo piano works inspired by the conversations, stories, and shared vulnerabilities of countless individuals who have found solace in his music and podcast during their most challenging times. The album represents a journey from solitude to solidarity—from individual experiences to shared realities. Where We Are ultimately solidifies Chad’s position as a leading figure exploring the intersection of music and wellness.
Chad 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, generating over a billion all-time streams, and landing high-profile sync placements with such shows as The Walking Dead and Viceland. Recently, Lawson has widened his reach as the creator and host 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.
