According to Lewis, the surprise album was influenced by The Beatles’ Esher Demos, Roky Erickson’s “For You,” and Kurt Cobain’s “Do Re Mi” from the home recordings. 

Christopher Lee Lewis hails from Oblong, Ilinois, but has called greater Los Angeles home for the past 20 years. His musical journey began at the tender age of four when he first picked up the drums. Christopher’s love for the stage was evident early on, as he would book private shows to dance at and often sell tickets to his friends to watch him perform. 

As a teenager, Christopher’s quartet caught the public eye, leading to his appearance on the traveling Star Search, resulting in a $500 record deal with a Nashville-based label and an immediate split of the group. 

In 2002, his teenage band, The Kinison signed to Atlantic/LaSalle Records and went on to play hundreds of shows, release one EP, and a full-length album — they even graced the main stages of Coachella and two Warped Tours. 

After a decade away from music and not one to rest on his laurels, Christopher released two LPs under the moniker LEWIS in 2020 and 2023.
