OUR TEAM

LAWRENCE
LAVENDER
OWNER / CEO
Celebrating over 30 years of managing events, drag queens, musicians, athletes, and other types of performers, Lawrence’s passion for the arts began very early on in his life managing his first band at 16 years old. He’s learned a lot since those days and his passion for the arts and years of experience in law and business make this a perfect fit.
I did not start as a business looking for an opportunity, I started this business as a friend and fan that saw a need. My objective has always been to provide business expertise to performing artists so they could focus on being great artists. I founded Lavender Promotions in 2016 to be Canada’s first queer-focused talent & event agency.
A university graduate with a bachelor of arts in philosophy and minors in ethics, law, and society, Lawrence also holds a master’s degree in community development and two Juris Doctors, one from the United States and the other from Canada. Lawrence also teaches business law and business ethics part-time at his local college.
