Voted the #14 DJ in the World by DJ Magazine’s prestigious ‘Top 100’ poll and winner of “Best American DJ” at the WMC IDMA’s in 2005, Christopher Lawrence is recognized worldwide as one of the World's top DJs and producers. Dubbed "A Superstar DJ" by the US’s URB and “One Of The Most Popular DJs On The Global Circuit” by DJ Magazine, Christopher Lawrence is one of the biggest, most respected and popular names in dance music today.
Named the #3 Trance DJ in the World by BPM Magazine’s ‘America's Favorite DJ’ poll for 2006, Christopher was outranked only by Tiesto and Paul van Dyk. A recent recipient of the "Best DJ" award at the Dancestar US Awards, Christopher's production skills, coupled with his ability to take international dancefloors by storm with his tough techno trance sets, place him in high demand worldwide.

Meanwhile, back in the US, Christopher continues to be one of the countries most sought after DJs, headlining high profile events from Arnold Schwazzeneger’s ‘Terminator III’ party to Sony’s ‘Playstation 2 Tour’ and the famed Coachella festival. He was also the only US DJ invited to headline all three of the inaugural Ministry Of Sound, Cream and Gatecrasher tours of America.

Album tracks were licensed by media outlets from Clear Channel and MTV to Electronic Arts, the worlds largest video game company.
Christopher also gained attention with the release of his new website, which was nominated in the “Best Music Website” category of the Webby Awards, which is considered the Academy Awards of web design.
