Kristoffer Lawrence Cadevida [fn 1] (born September 1, 1982), commonly known as Kris Lawrence, is a Filipino-American singer-songwriter and actor. [1]
Lawrence was born in Los Angeles, California, United States. He was with Jay-R in the group First Impression from mid-1998 to early 2000. He won Search for the Star in a Million Season 3 in 2006. Lawrence's self-titled debut album was released in 2006, followed by Moments of Love in 2009 which mainly included covers of songs such as George Michael's "Careless Whisper", Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" and Christopher Cross's "I Will Take You Forever".
In 2010, he signed an exclusive contract with GMA Network and appeared on the variety show Party Pilipinas . On March 12, 2012, Lawrence signed to GMA Records along with three other artists. Having already made GMA (the Kapuso Network) his home network since early 2010, and now officially joining their roster in music, Lawrence has hinted at his wish for his songs to be used in different shows on GMA.
His third album, Spread the Love, was released in 2013 and his fourth album, Most Requested Playlist was released in 2015 under Universal Records.
Lawrence was commissioned by Daniel Padilla and co-owners to create ambient theme music for J Castles (dubbed "Disneyland of Tanauan") including instrumental and surrealistic soundscape with 3D soundtrack visual effects in each room. Jay Durias also requested Lawrence sing J Castles’ theme song, “Let There Be Lights”, and “Sky Full of Colors” at the fireworks finale of the park's launching. [2]
Lawrence was in a relationship with actress and model Katrina Halili with whom he has a daughter born in 2012. [3] They broke up in 2014. [4] He then has a second child with a non-showbiz girlfriend born in 2019. [5]
Lawrence has a younger sister, Laurie Cadevida, who played the Vietnamese woman lead role "Kim" on the North American Tour of Miss Saigon.
