David Lewis

Please note there are several artists named David Lewis spanning across various genres of Music. (1) British based 'one man band', writer and musician; David Lewis. Mixing epic "rock-influenced" with electro melodies and a cohererant progressive sound reminiscent of major bands such as Porcupine Tree, it is easy to get lost in a magical world of imagery created through Lewis' work. Songs from 'Fountain Of Youth' may be solely musical based, but their lyrics scream out to the listener as they become part of his musical world - Truly breathtaking.
