Career

Dean Lewis credits his favorite musical bands for inspiring him to pursue music as a career. The English rock band ‘Oasis’, formed by the Gallagher brothers, has an especially deep impact on Lewis’ career. When he was trying his hands at music composing and was learning to write songs, he came across the band’s 2005 live DVD. He instantly fell in love with the brothers’ way of performing with the crowd and their musical style. Their songs had a major influence on Lewis, who honed his own craft of writing songs by listening to the albums of the band.

Lewis released his debut single in 2016 under the banner of Universal Music Australia. The single, ‘Waves’, helped kick-start his music career.
