He has been featured on "Sunday Morning," the flagship program of CBS, one of the three major networks in the U.S., and "All Things Considered," a long-established news program on NPR, a public radio network, which are unusual for an independent artist, and his music has been featured on various classical charts, including iTunes. The album debuted at No. 1 on iTunes and various other classical music charts. In addition, "Stay" and "One Day You Finally Knew," two songs from his major label debut EP "STAY," which was released in May prior to the album, swept the #1 and #2 spots on the Apple Music Classical Singles Chart in the US, making him one of the hottest artists in the classical music world today. He is one of the most popular classical artists in the world today. You Finally Knew" is the debut album that he has put all his energy into.The album features a post-classical style of healing solo piano on the EP, which Lawson says he "wanted to create a place of serenity where you can heal your wounds and regain your energy to trudge through the real world," as well as his piano technique, which he says is rooted in authentic classical music. The EP also includes a post-classical healing solo piano piece and a piece that showcases his piano technique, which is rooted in authentic classical music. The album is a perfect fit for his goal of creating a healing space for everyone, from young people of the streaming generation who don't listen to much classical music to classical music fans who grew up listening to vinyl records.
