Mini bio
How it started.
Lewis grew up in Whitburn, Scotland, and was playing pubs around Edinburgh and Glasgow at 11. Those sets mixed covers with his own songs. Manager Ryan Walter later found a bedroom recording on SoundCloud and travelled to see him play an open mic in Dumfries. “Bruises” followed as an independent single in March 2017.
The breakthrough.
“Someone You Loved” reached number one in the UK and the US in 2019. His debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, became the UK’s biggest-selling album of both 2019 and 2020. He won two BRIT Awards in 2020, for Best New Artist and Song of the Year.
Songs and the person behind them.
His music pairs guitar and piano arrangements with a raspy voice and songs about heartbreak. Fans also know his self-deprecating jokes online and on stage. The 2023 Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now follows the pressure of making a second album while trying to hold on to everyday life.
Finding his way back.
After taking time away following Glastonbury 2023, Lewis returned in June 2025 with “Survive” and a surprise Pyramid Stage set. The Survive EP followed that November. In 2026 he added “Stay Love”, released Live From North America and headlined BST Hyde Park.
