Artist description
Paul Lewis' solo debut, Get On With It, is a
sarcastic symphony of pop, the dawn of a post
modern renaissance of rock-n-roll that takes you
on a lyrical journey with doses of reality and
romanticism, hope filled harmonies and melodies
that scream and shout from the soul.
Paul has performed over 4,000 live shows and the
experience has served him well. His live
performance has all the ingredients of a true
rock show; volume, passion, sex, drama and
charisma. A creative and captivating performer
that pulls the audience in and doesn't let go. |

Artist History
Paul Lewis grew up in Maryland taking voice and
guitar lessons, performing wherever and whenever
he could. He attended Salisbury State University
where he majored in theater. While performing in
a production at the college, Paul caught the eye
of a founding member of the band "Y-NOT!?" After
auditioning, all the pieces were in place and
Paul began mesmerizing audiences in his new role
as front man to the band. "YNOT!?" released A
Thrilled Voice which catapulted Lewis and the band
to the front ranks of the Mid-Atlantic music
scene. Eventually to the dismay of a legion of
fans, the group parted ways. Paul decided to
continue pursuing music by forming the successful
"Dead City Radio" and then ultimately decided on
a solo career. He said his goodbyes, packed a
U-haul and hit the road. Paul arrived in Los
Angeles without a band, money or a job for the
first time in his career. Since then, he has
never looked back. "Singing and performing" he
declares "it's what I do, it's who I am, it's in
my blood". Paul began to build a devoted following
in LA with performances at high profile venues
such as The Roxy and The Gig. He kept writing new
music while entertaining audiences and found
himself continually being asked the question,
"How do I get a Paul Lewis record?" One night
while playing a gig, the answer walked in the
door. Paul became part of the Los Angeles indie
label Realize Records and began recording his
first solo album. |
