Born and raised in Los Angeles, Lawrence Berkowitz started playing guitar at the age of11. He only put it down years later when he discovered the infinite possibilities of computer music. Lawrence is now an undergraduate in Steinhardt's composition department, composing primarily with Ableton Live and MAX/MSP. Studying with celebrated Argentinian composer Ezequiel Viñao, Lawrence has developed a rich melodic and rhythmic sensibility, expressed through his signature production style. Lawrence releases music as "Lawrence Grey" on Los Angeles based label Proximal Records. He has performed at venues including The Echo, The El Rey, The Henry Fonda, The Roxy and several others.
After graduating, Lawrence will be following one of his other passions: teaching. Working with children in Los Angeles since his early teens, Lawrence has developed a program at an organization called Creative Space where he teaches children about electronic music through making tracks with them. Returning to Los Angeles after graduation, Lawrence will continue the work that he has started. Currently, Lawrence is working with at risk youth at the Center for Community Alternatives, teaching them how to make beats. Making music with kids during the day and working in his studio at night, Lawrence will be able to continue his obsessive music making for years to come.
