"Music is a sacred gift. I yield to its calling."

Jarrod Lawson, a thirty-year old singer/songwriter and keyboardist, has been a resident of the Pacific Northwest for over twenty years. Born to music, Jarrod’s first memories were made while exploring his father’s recording studio in Redwood City, California, where he found his first of many eventual creative outlets, the drum kit. Jarrod, initially a student of his father, Steven, later became enticed by the infinite harmonic possibilities offered by the piano, and eventually moved on to become a three-year student of the acclaimed Clackamas Community College music program. It was here that Jarrod seasoned his pallet with flavors of great composers in every genre: Frederic Chopin, Errol Garner, Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley, etc. From this was born Jarrod’s unique style of vocal/lyrical and instrumental composition. Jarrod has been seen opening up for international acts such as Average White Band, Maceo Parker, and Angelique Kidjo.
