Feelz

Nashville-based DJ and producer, John Lawson is better known by his stage name Feelz. In late 2011, he introduced himself to the dance music scene with a string of passionate, emotionally-charged live performances at venues across the United States. The Morristown, Tennessee native developed a passion for making original dance music after touring.


Feelz’s start in the music industry began during his years as a college student playing DJ sets at many of the local clubs and bars. After gaining hometown popularity, he began performing alongside major-label musicians and DJs from around the world. Some of the artists include (but are not limited to) Waka Flocka Flame, Slander, and Allison Wonderland. Feelz played on tours such as ‘ Paint Gone Wild ’ and the ‘Glo Paint Party.’


Much of John’s sound was inspired by various electronic pop artists and producers, which led him to creating a high-energy vibe felt in every live show. As a producer, each of Feelz’s songs represent a journey of energetic highs and introspective lows. With his synth-heavy drops dissolving into smooth acoustic instrumentals, it allows tension to rise before releasing short bursts of the purest musical energy. The sound makes the audience want to dance while experiencing a feeling of deep, connective emotional state.
