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.

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.

🎙️ 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. 🌙

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.

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.
