About CJ Lawrence

In the artist’s words: What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Against Me!, Transgender Dysphoria Blues Lavender Country, Lavender Country Pat The Bunny, The Volatile Utopian Real Estate Market Transgender Dysphoria Blues is the first time I got to sing angry trans music. Discovering Lavender Country directly lead to finding queer music community in the bay. The 2nd half of The Volatile Utopian Real Estate showed me a path to songwriting. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Closet” This song is special to me because it is a push to come out of the trans closet that is nuanced and doesn't gloss over the very real dangers. I am also proud that the lyrics present a very succinct, but complete, view of my feelings on the subject. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The summer I released my first song, I lived part-time at Sunflower House, the coop where I'd lived early in my transition. My last day in town, I got to perform with my housemate for his burlesque troupe's local music showcase. It was perfect. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to print vinyl for my record "Home". I want to go on tour.
