Lauded pianist, composer, certified breathwork educator and podcaster, Chad Lawson, presents his new album, ‘hush’. Inspired by a moment of complete stillness following an orchestral recording session at London's Angel Studios, the album is rooted in space, silence and the lingering emotional resonance that remains after the final note fades. Chad is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of music and wellness. For over a decade, he has consistently combined creativity and science-backed research to support healing through the power of music. As a musician, Lawson is a Billboard chart-topping, Steinway-endorsed, internationally acclaimed pianist and composer whose wellness-focused catalog spans sleep, focus and emotional recovery. NPR has called his music “an invitation to decompress,” while Variety christened Lawson one of the artists who “lead the wave of music for slumber and relaxation.” As a wellness educator, Chad is the creator and host of the Calm It Down podcast (iHeart Radio Award-nominated; Webby Award honoree), exploring mental health, meditation and breathwork. Current World Federation for Mental Health Representative to the WHO Regional Americas Office and Yoga Alliance-certified breathwork educator, Lawson’s music has been released in alignment with World Mental Health Day, World Sleep Day, as well as the inaugural International Day of Hope 2025, validating his institutional credibility and placing him in a category of one among contemporary classical artists.
