About Me

I started playing the drums at the age of five growing up in Detroit, Michigan. Born on the sweet sounds of Motown and 70’s Rock and Roll. I have been in the music scene since my earliest memories. This is a direct result of my father David Lewis who was the FOH Sound Engineer and Tour Manager for huge groups like Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, along with multitudinous others. This allowed me the opportunity to fall in love with the drums at afternoon sound checks. Soon, I was the one checking the drums and my relationships with the older accomplished musicians was transcendent. I once introduced my 2nd grade teacher to Neil Diamond, and got dropped off at elementary school in the tour bus when Foghat was in town. I now spend most of my time in the tour bus or van. I have a recording studio, and I’ve been focusing on engineering and producing albums of all genras as well as playing live nearly every night. My latest projects include new albums from: Motor City Josh, Will Scruggs Jazz Fellowship, Mike Lowry, Chris Cauley, Mimi Holland, Rojo Diablo, Chicago Joe, Zach Pride, Charlie Wooton, Jess McGrath, Chris Duarte, and Joe McGuinness.
