CJ Lawrence

CJ Lawrence is a queer songwriter whose songs don’t pull any emotional punches. His debut album, Home, is a deeply personal reflection on being a transsexual Kansan whose family rejected him when he came out in 2011, and his path to thriving anyhow.

CJ's most recent release is 'Songs I Needed', a five-track EP that turns its focus to the present-day challenges facing his community. With a clear-eyed purpose, the project thoughtfully examines the reality of political violence while drawing on queer history to inspire hope, resilience, and a vision for a more inclusive future.
