Capaldi's debut album was recorded over an 18-month period across London, New York & L.A., 'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent' is an ironically titled, but charismatically defining album that's lyrically candid and an accurate snapshot into the ups and downs of growing up. Consisting of recordings that capture the charm & feeling of how they were originally written, including hit UK singles 'Grace', Bruises' & 'Someone You Loved', Lewis' stunningly identifiable voice, coupled with its turbulent themes of love, loss and heartache, make it a debut record that is unequivocally relatable.

Lewis has also achieved successive Radio 1 A-List tracks, sold over 230,000 headline show tickets, enlisted the music video acting services of ex-Dr Who star Peter Capaldi, amassed over 870 million global plays across streaming services & has sold out no less than five back-to-back headline tours, with demand outstripping supply at every turn. This all underlined with critical praise, being shortlisted for the 2019 Brits Critics' Choice award, TV performances on The Jonathan Ross Show & Top Of The Pops, and making both the BBC's Sound Of 2018 longlist and BBC Radio 1's Brit List.

His personal achievements haven't gone unnoticed by his musician peers either, with Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, The Killers, Rag'n' Bone Man, Bastille & Niall Horan all offering Capaldi support shows to audiences on a gigantic scale. The young 22-year-old who only 18 months previous had been plugging-in night-after-night into the local pub gig circuit of Glasgow, will now head out on the road in November to headline some of the country's most notable venues, including London's O2 Academy Brixton.

Lewis has taken pairing sad songs with an incredible wit, and a rampant social media following to match, and made it his very own. The results are hilariously beautiful.
