Chris Lanzon
Chris Lanzon's music captures the warmth and melancholy of a sun-faded, well-loved journal, blending indie-pop and folk. It is a youthfulness, tempered with the deep wisdom of a mind that’s seen the best and the worst of the world, yet still believes in the magic of a simple moment.
Chris has emerged as a beacon for those who find solace in the understated and the sincere, each song a conversation, a campfire confession that is profoundly personal and universally resonant. With three EPs released between 2020-2023, Chris has seen acclaim from fans and industry alike, with an increasing following on social media and recognition from outlets such as NME, BBC Radio 1, and Triple J.
His 2024 EP, "Angel Litany," explores the coexistence of love and pain. Collaborating and writing with artists like Harmony, Deb Never, Blake Rose and Ber – each track reflects a moment of serendipitous connection born from first-time collaborations. The project embodies Chris's determination to show up for the people he loves, even through the pain of distance and emotional barriers that often accompany deep human connections.
