A true warrior when it comes to following her passions, which have led her on many creative adventures, each one adding another layer to the multi-dimensional artist that is Anzu Lawson. Beginning at age 7, Anzu's first taste for acting was opposite Academy Award-nominated actor, Mako in her first screen test playing his granddaughter, in an independent film. Then at 14, She was scouted to model in Tokyo, thus beginning her International career path. While modeling one summer, the stars conspired for her to meet YES's singer Jon Anderson, backstage at an INXS concert in Tokyo. It was a pivotal moment in her career when Jon discovered Anzu's musical talent. He prompted the beginnings of her first album, and two albums later, Anzu topped the Japanese Billboard charts with a number one hit on AVEX records, a teen J-Pop star in Japan. Her creative career as a singer-songwriter had begun. Her bold and unique vocal styling can be heard on many of Hans Zimmer's & Harry Gregson-Williams movie soundtracks; The Chronicles of Narnia, Spygame, DaVinci Code and Sinbad. As a young adult, back in Los Angeles, her acting career ignited when she landed the lead role in "American Yakuza", starring opposite Viggo Mortensen by casting director Don Phillips. Don Phillips is known for giving such talents as Forest Whitaker, Sean Penn, Viggo Mortensen & Matthew McConaughey their first film role. That film's director, Frank Cappello, commissioned her to write a song for his next movie "No Way Back" starring Russell Crowe and then cast her again, opposite Christian Slater in the indie Showtime movie, "He Was A Quiet Man", years later. To date, Anzu has played many diverse roles from Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Latin, Native American & Chinese.After filming "FOX's 'Til Death" & befriending comedian Brad Garrett, Anzu was inspired to explore the stand-up comedy world, and has now performed on such famous stages as The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, Westside Comedy Theatre and The Improv Hollywood/Brea.Frustrated with the lack of diverse leading female roles in Hollywood at the time, The seed for writing her own material had been planted, and Anzu received her certificate in screenwriting at UCLA in '09, where she optioned her first script, The Seed Between the Stones. Anzu collaborated with Cal State University Los Angeles in April 2018 to launch the second live workshop of her all original rock movie musical called "Dear John, Why Yoko?" formerly known as "Rock and Roll's Greatest Lovers." This is a screenplay and musical she penned that was inspired by John Lennon's controversial and inspiring love for Yoko Ono, told for the first time through Yoko Ono's perspective. Anzu Lawson received her first Best Actress nomination in her portrayal as "Yoko Ono" in the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Anzu's One Woman Show called DEAR YOKO has been selling out every Los Angeles performance and has been an official selection at the 2019 BFF FESTIVAL and SOLOFEST 2020 Festival. The final 3 performances of DEAR YOKO will be in June at The 2020 Hollywood Fringe Festival in Hollywood at The Lounge Theater. Anzu's production company Happy Hapa Films is focused on edgy screenplays that focus on challenging the stereotypes and bringing to light the untold stories of Asian American & diverse women throughout history.No one says it better than Nicole Force of The Examiner when she wrote: "Anzu Lawson is a consummate and multi-talented performer who represents the new triple threat in Hollywood-singer, actress and stand-up comedian. Anzu Lawson is an entertainment force who consistently delivers, regardless of the genre."
