FIB CHATS: Dean Lewis

Dean Lewis may be the new kid on the block on the Singer Songwriter scene, but he is also the most impressive. His lyrical debut single Waves – a bittersweet youth-centric ballad that features Dean’s striking tenor vocal skills - made him a runaway Youtube sensation with 11 million hits worldwide; placing him in the Top 10 on iTunes, Top 30 on Spotify and Top 25 on the ARIA singles charts. Dean’s new single Need You Now hit # 3 on the Singer / Songwriter chart in the first week. His debut EP Same Kind Of Different has him performing at sell-out concerts across the UK and Europe. What’s behind his global appeal? FIB chatted with Dean Lewis to get the inside story on his music and motivation.
