Performing at open mic nights in Birmingham, while living in Redditch, he gradually pieced his material together, working out what did and didn't work in the glare of the spotlight.
听
He's already landed a coveted spot on the 主播大秀 Radio 1 playlist after uploading his music to us - and this week, as we look ahead to 主播大秀 Music Introducing at Reading & Leeds later this month, we hear some previously unbroadcast session tracks from Lawrence - as recorded in Reading two years ago.

Musicians' Masterclass: Frank Carter
听
Held across three days, Amplify offered exclusive access to the UK music industry鈥檚 biggest names through intimate talks, music masterclasses and recording workshops.
听
This week, we talk money, mental health and songwriting with Frank Carter, who began his career as a rock singer in Gallows in 2005.
听
Two years later, he released his first studio album after signing a 拢1m deal with Warner Bros Records.
听
Frank eventually left the band, after the deal ended, going on to form Pure Love (who went on hiatus) so created Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes.
听
In 2015, they released their debut album and have taken the festival circuit by storm.
听
Session tracks: Empyre
听
The quartet, who are based in both Bromsgrove and Northampton, take in influences such as Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and Royal Blood and lay on a storming live show.
听
"Thunderous rock with one of the meatiest sounds in the UK right now. No stage is too big for these guys" - Andrew Marston.

主播大秀 Music Introducing at HopFest, Bewdley
听
This year they extended the festival to three days - so on the Sunday, we were there hosting a stage dedicated to Herefordshire and Worcestershire artists chosen from the听.
听
The event, run by a group of volunteers, is paid for by ticket sales alone.
听
Monthly roadshows
听
Since the beginning of 2011, we've taken our 主播大秀 Introducing show out on-the-road to various areas across our patch.
听
Every month, we rock up at a different venue with a pile of microphones, cables and recording equipment along with several vans full of enthusiastic musicians!
听
As well as the bands being able to invite an audience, we also bring along a number of music industry professionals to comment on the live acts.
听
We tend to host our sessions on evenings/weekends is because it's normally a quiet time for venues - so effectively you get a free gig curated with the best bands (from the thousands who have submitted their music to us), full tech provided, plus听听- so effectively you just need to open your doors!
