About Donald Lawrence
A graduate of the prestigious Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and a
two-decade music industry leader, BMI songwriter Donald Lawrence is the
maestro of gospel music. He brings out the Gospel in all forms and
through all vehicles, whether it is a classical piece, a rousing
choir-filled praise and worship song, or a big ballad, Lawrence
decisively touches, challenges and changes people's lives through the
power of God moving in the breadth of his ministry. In a career filled
with landmark moments, none stands higher than his 15-year collaboration
with what began as a 35-voice, Carolina-based community choir known as
the Tri-City Singers. In existence since 1981 and known to the world
as Donald Lawrence Presents the Tri-City Singers, their 1991 partnership
has reshaped the gospel choir of the 21st century, making them one of
the genre's most successful and beloved acts. Lawrence owns Quiet Water
Entertainment, a subsidiary of Verity.
