Philip Lawrence

Philip Lawrence—Grammy-winning songwriter/producer and frequent Bruno Mars collaborator (The Smeezingtons)—sits with Tank & J. Valentine to unpack how stadium-level records get built. We get into melody-first writing, lyric clarity, chord choices that carry a hook, and the vocal/arrangement details that turn good songs into culture-shifting moments. Philip traces the arc from early sessions to global smashes, the teamwork behind The Smeezingtons, and how he keeps taste sharp across eras.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
