A cross between Jack White and Bette Davis, Lawrence writes her own music and, in 2014, released the album Ugly with her band Tamika & The Slay to critical acclaim. Lawrence won a Grammy for her work on the Dear Evan Hansen cast album and won her second Grammy for her work on The Greatest Showman. Her critically acclaimed debut solo EP Two Faced was released in 2020.
