A glimpse into the songwriting process. Beautiful things coming in 2026. #ChadLawson #Songwriting #StudioSessions

Quick stop at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. 🍻 Not a bad afternoon.

The other week, I was in Dublin and my goodness, thank you for an afternoon of stillness and sound at the Pavilion Theatre. From quiet before the music to the moment we began, it was incredible. #ChadLawson #LiveMusic

Start small. Start simple. As Dora Kamau from @Headspace shared, meditation isn’t about one hour a week — it’s about one minute, one breath, one day at a time. That’s how stillness becomes strength. #CalmItDown #Headspace #Meditation

Meditation isn’t half in, half out. It’s fully embodied. Once you’re aware, you can’t become unaware. It’s challenging at first, but awareness leads to freedom, compassion, and calm. #CalmItDown #Headspace #Mindfulness

Breath connects body and mind, but Transcendental Meditation goes deeper beyond the waves to the still water beneath. That’s where calm lives. #CalmItDown #Meditation #BobRoth

Meditation doesn’t erase thoughts or feelings. It helps create space between them. In this conversation, I shared how meditation allows this space to become self-control. Clarity. Peace.  #chadlawson #mentalhealth #davidlynchfoundation

Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, explains how Transcendental Meditation helps us access a deeper state of rest and unlock our better selves. More compassionate, more clear, more calm. #CalmItDown #WorldMentalHealthDay #Meditation #chadlawson #davidlynchfoundation

🎙️ A clip from our latest Calm in Down episode, recorded at Spotify studios in Los Angeles!  Rest isn’t just physical, it’s emotional. It takes trust, safety, and space to fully release. #CalmItDown #Rest #chadlawson #worldmentalhealthday

Hamburg, you were incredible. Thank you for such a beautiful night at the Elbphilharmonie. I’ll be carrying this one with me. ❤️ #Elbphilharmonie #Hamburg #LiveMusic #chadlawson

Amsterdam, you were magic. ✨ Playing Concertgebouw was one of those moments I’ll carry for a long time. Thank you to everyone who came out and shared the night. What a gift. #Concertgebouw #Amsterdam #PianoMusic #LiveMusic

The journey of Where We Are, Together: Solace, Together. Sanctuary, Together, and Like the Stars in the Sky, Together.  Created for World Mental Health Day, it’s about how healing feels more possible when we don’t feel so alone. #WhereWeAreTogether #CalmItDown

Like the Stars is a duet with the one and only @ashleyjacksonharp. A quiet conversation between harp and piano. Out now via @deccarecordsus.  #LikeTheStars #WhereWeAreTogether #CalmItDown

So much gratitude for @ashleyjacksonharp. Her artistry turned Like the Stars into something luminous. Every note feels like grace in motion. #LikeTheStars #WhereWeAreTogether

Grateful to be featured in Mikiki Tokyo, talking about how music and mindfulness connect across cultures and how Where We Are (Unity Edition) was born out of that space.  ➡️ Read full article: https://mikiki.tokyo.jp/articles/-/42845 #ChadLawson #Mikiki #MindfulMusic

The final piece from Where We Are, Together is here. Like the Stars is a harp and piano duet with @ashleyjacksonharp . I hope it brings calm after a long day.  #LikeTheStars #WhereWeAreTogether #chadlawson

Where We Are, Together is out now. Created for World Mental Health Day, it’s about how healing feels a little more possible when we don’t feel so alone. #WhereWeAreTogether #chadlawson #collab #classicalmusic

I sat down with @meditationbob  from the @LynchFoundation to talk about how Transcendental Meditation brings balance back to our lives. I’ve practiced TM since 2017 & it’s been an anchor through every season. Full video on my YouTube channel. #WorldMentalHealthDay #CalmItDown

Just spent 30 mins with Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation. We talked stress, stillness, and why your brain craves calm. If you’ve ever tried meditating and ended up doomscrolling instead, this one’s for you. New episode tomorrow. Calm It Down.

Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes of our next piece coming soon!  A duet for harp and piano with @ashleyjacksonharp that feel like breathing out after a long day. 🎧 Like the Stars is coming soon!  #LikeTheStars #WhereWeAreTogether #PianoMusic #DeccaRecordsUS #CalmItDown

Found my album at Tower Records in Tokyo today. Half a world away from where it was written. And somehow, it still found its way here. Music is universal. And I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s ever pressed play. Wherever you are, thank you. Truly.

Honored to share that Solace, Together, Where We Are (Sleep Reworks), and The Light Within are under GRAMMY® consideration this year. Grateful to my collaborators and to everyone who has listened along the way.  #GRAMMYs #Chadlawson

Sanctuary is about safety, rest, and beauty and playing it with @estherabrami was an unforgettable collaboration. For this one, we let the music speak for itself, violin and piano in their purest form. #Sanctuary #EstherAbrami #SolaceTogether #chadlawson

✨ Sanctuary is here ✨ So grateful for @estherabrami, @deccarecordsus, @morganharpernichols, and the whole team who brought this vision to life. #Sanctuary #SolaceTogether #chadlawson #classicalmusic

Sanctuary is here. A collaboration with @estherabrami and @deccarecordsus about music as refuge, beauty, and rest. I hope it gives you a safe place to land today. 🌙 #Sanctuary #SolaceTogether #chadlawson #estherabrami

When your wife is an absurdly ridiculous baker, you don’t ask for jewelry on your 19th anniversary. You ask for a giant chocolate chip cookie the size of a steering wheel. I have neither restraint nor remorse. 🤤 *It was last week, and I stretched those crumbs as long as I could.

When I first heard Esther Abrami play, I knew her artistry carried something rare, an ability to make every note feel like a story.  This song is about creating a safe space, a moment of stillness, where music itself becomes a refuge.  I can't wait to share it with you!

My heart is full.  Let's have some fun.

There is something magical about the first sounds in a studio. The mic checks, tuning of strings, the first notes finding each other.  I cannot wait to share our upcoming release with you!! A violin, a piano, and a safe place to land. #Sanctuary #EstherAbrami #DeccaRecordsUS  #ClassicalMusic

Sometimes, a pause is all we need.

Sometimes “just be positive” feels more like pressure than comfort. Real support sounds like, “This is hard, and I’m here.” You don’t have to feel better right now. The kindest positivity makes space for what’s real. #CalmItDown

Things in the studio that just make sense: my piano, the wall my wife made, chocolates with poems inside, and my dog curled up nearby. It is the little things that make a space feel like sanctuary. What makes your space feel complete? #Studiotour #chadlawson #calmitdownpodcast

Some pieces come together. Others feel like they were always meant to be. New somethin-somethin' coming soon!!  #SolaceTogether #EstherAbrami #chadlawson

Before I record Calm It Down, I don’t start with gear checks. I start with my mind and spirit. I pause for stillness. I set an intention. I listen inward. Because when I press record, I want to offer more than words. I want to offer presence. #CalmItDownpodcast #MindfulMoments #chadlawson

Most arguments aren’t really about money or chores or politics. They’re about something much simpler. We just want to be heard. That’s why voices rise. That’s why words sting. Because deep down we’re afraid our voice doesn’t matter. Check out this week’s episode of Calm it Down titled Why We Argue.

The best way to quiet your distractions? Create one of your own. Sit still, listen to the world around you, and let your mind focus on just one thing. 🌿 #Soundtherapy #MindfulMusic #chadlawson

Who doesn't love a peek behind the scenes? :)  Here's a few pics during the session with Voces8 for "Solace, Together". Such a most beautiful moment I'll never forget experiencing.  📸: Joseph Lynn @joelynntw

A few years ago, I joined Morgan Harper Nichols on her podcast for a conversation about creating with open hands. This was just the start of what became our collaboration on the cover art for Solace, Together. #SolaceTogether #MorganHarperNichols

In case you missed it, Solace, Together is out now. A project of open-handed collaboration with @morganharpernichols, @rupikaur_, @voces8, and @sethparkerwoods. The messages you have shared so far mean the world. Have you listened yet? #SolaceTogether #chadlawson

✨ Solace, Together is here. A single where poetry, voice, and music meet in presence. From Rupi Kaur to Morgan Harper Nichols, from VOCES8 to Seth Parker Woods, it’s a reminder that solace grows when it’s shared. Listen now everywhere. #SolaceTogether

A lot can change in 60 seconds. Today, let’s make space for gratitude. Not the big milestones, but the small, quiet things that make your day lighter. What’s one thing you’re grateful for right now?

Wonder what we’re up to here? ✨ A little hint… it involves voices as rich as the space they’re recorded in, and something we cannot wait to share with you. Stay tuned: 🎶 📸 credit: @joelynntw  #VOCES8 #ClassicalMusic #chadlawson #morganharpernichols #sethparkerwoods

In London, I joined Apple Music and Sollos for the launch of Sound Therapy, music infused with sound waves proven to help you focus, relax, or rest. For me, it is more than playlists. It is my life’s work, creating calm through music, connection, and collaboration. ⏩ 

What have you been putting off feeling? Gratitude Joy Grief Relief For the next 60 seconds, make space for it. Let everything else wait.

Let’s pause for 60 seconds. No pressure, no performance. Just space to breathe, reflect, or be still. These “Pause” reels are little windows of calm for your day. #PauseWithChad #CalmItDown #ChadLawson #MindfulMusic #Stillness #MusicToBreatheTo
