Nominee, Clevenard Media Award 2025
Category: Lifetime Achievement in Global Music Production & Vocal Innovation
Music Creative Director, Vocal Arranger & Consultant

Palma de Mallorca, Spain — For the first time, the vibrant Mediterranean city of Palma de Mallorca will host the Clevenard Media Award 2025, spotlighting excellence in entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion, innovation, and community empowerment.

This landmark international event brings together visionary entrepreneurs, creatives, government figures, NGOs, and community leaders from across the world to honor those who transform society through leadership, courage, innovation, and dedication.

Among this year’s distinguished nominees is Lawrence Johnson, a legendary Music Creative Director, Vocal Arranger, and Consultant whose groundbreaking career spans more than four decades and has helped shape the global soundscape of both Gospel and popular music.

A co-founder of the world-renowned London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC), Lawrence helped pioneer contemporary gospel in the UK, setting the stage for his future influence in both sacred and mainstream music. He later founded the R&B Gospel group Nu Colours, signed under Universal Music, whose international acclaim drew attention from global icons like Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston. His artistry and innovation ultimately earned him the historic honor of becoming the first-ever MOBO Award winner for Best Gospel Act, a milestone that cemented his role as a trailblazer in the genre.

His reputation as a vocal arranger and producer is equally remarkable. From his first major collaboration with Simon Cowell via Gary Barlow to working with some of the world’s biggest stars — including Taylor Swift, Westlife, Stormzy, Burna Boy, Amy Winehouse, Sam Smith, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, and Gary Barlow — Lawrence’s expertise has consistently elevated artists to new heights. He played a crucial role in shaping hit singles for The X Factor winners, several of which became UK Christmas number ones, while his influence on Popstars: The Rivals, Fame Academy, and numerous chart-topping albums demonstrated his unmatched ability to bring out the very best in vocal performance and production.

His contributions extend beyond the charts into film and television, with credits on iconic soundtracks such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, Disney’s Aladdin, and the Paul McCartney-led Give My Regards to Broad Street.

A mentor, visionary, and humanitarian, Lawrence also founded One Voice Collective, uniting artists to respond to global crises and social injustices through the unifying power of music. His dedication to excellence and service was recognized with an Honorary Fellowship Master’s Degree, FRSL (Hons) IGMA, honoring both his immense talent and his commitment to developing the next generation of musical leaders.
