Michael Lazar
Miami-based artist, Michael Lazar, attests to this statement through his debut album, entitled 51/49. Consisting of 15 songs written, recorded and produced by Lazar, the album is a culmination of the artist’s 18-year journey through tragedy and loss to self-discovery and finding love. 51/49 is now available on all digital platforms. Lazar began crafting his debut album almost two decades ago. After moving to NYC to study musical theatre at NYU, he began writing songs about his experiences starting with his formative college years to countless Broadway auditions and performances to the 2020 pandemic. During that period, he also suffered the tragic loss of his mother as well as losing all of his material possessions in a fire. Through his songs, Lazar explores themes of love, loss, friendship and self-worth. His lyrics are heartfelt and sincere, sometimes sad and nostalgic, but ultimately meant to encourage others to believe in themselves. Named with the idea of accepting both good times and bad, Lazar’s 51/49 album plays like a musical diary with each song leading to the next, sharing memories and new experiences with anyone who can relate to them. Lazar invites music fans to share his musical journey through his debut album, 51/49, out everywhere music is streaming.
