Rhys Lewis

Growing up in Oxfordshire, he refined his musical talents front of stage. Singing at every gig night and wedding he could find, Rhys, his twin brother and best mate scurried around the country in their Mini Micra. It’s this side of the industry, the live and the predictably unpredictable, that set Rhys’ sights on life as a musician. During three years at the London Centre Of Contemporary Music, Rhys obsessively chopped up sounds and refined production techniques in his bedroom. Frequently surrounded by mattresses to make a DIY recording studio, Rhys worked on sound bites that would financially fuel his dreams of a life on the stage.

Fast forward to last years’ songwriting session on a little plot of land owned by some “eccentric pub-style landlords” in the Fens. It was here that Rhys brought these ideas of sophisticated discovery to life for his second album, "Corner Of The Sky". Prominent in Rhys’ mind, as he embraced bare feet on nature’s soil for weeks on end, was the idea of running away, making the mistakes he’d long avoided and starting again. It was a persistent theme for Rhys as his 20’s continued and he woke up to “the same day over and over again”.

To him, "Corner Of The Sky" is about wanting to make the most of the experiences we have, connecting with one another through something more than social media, but in the present moment – in the here and now. It’s a devoted love-letter to the art of eloping, an uplifting offer to be “lost in a moment”, a remedy for increasing, suffocating day-to-day fear. As "Alone" says, it’s never too late to lean into new experiences – this album is your invitation to them.
In February, the Brit can be seen live in Germany!
