New York-born siblings, Clyde and Gracie Lawrence, founded Lawrence, an eight-piece soul-pop band. Their album "Hotel TV," released under Jon Bellion's label, achieved significant success with multiple viral moments and top chart positions. Lawrence has undergone extensive touring, including a Jonas Brothers tour, a 53-city tour across North America, and a headline tour across Europe, which has substantially boosted their popularity. In addition to their musical journey, Clyde Lawrence and Jordan Cohen have played a prominent role in advocating for artists, testifying against unfair practices in the live music industry before the U.S Senate Judiciary and influencing meaningful changes.
