Lawrence Watson is an inspiration to many as a master teacher, an activist, and a musician. By joining his musical talents with his life-long struggle for human and civil justice, Watson is a soulful messenger for the next millennium--a modern-day Paul Robeson. Currently an Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music, as well as an Associate Professor at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, and an Adjunct Professor in the Black Studies Department at Boston College, New England audiences have embraced the music of Lawrence Watson for more than seventeen years.

"This powerful baritone, who easily swoops up to the tenor range, sings with a groovy beat lyricsthat convey messages smoothly delivered yet relevant to the Black cause. He is the respected inheritor of the Great Black Music tradition of blues, jazz and gospel, but his own man too."

Performing for Mrs. Clinton

Master teacher, brilliant songwriter and veteran performer, Watson travels extensively performing in concerts, and conducting master classes throughout the country and around the globe. Watson comes from a creative and intellectual tradition of Black music that speaks to relevance and inspiration for a contemporary American society.
