SG Lewis performing on the Main Stage at the OnBlackheath Music Festival 2019
Samuel Lewis, also known by his stage name SG Lewis, is a British singer-songwriter and record producer/multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom, currently based in Los Angeles. He is mostly known for collaborating with many artists from JP Cooper, Raye and Ray BLK to Bruno Major, Frances, Clairo and LANY. Throughout 2017, he began releasing more singles and got brought to the attention of Virgin EMI Records to which he was signed to later on. In 2018, he announced that he was working on his debut album, which was set to be released in three parts or extended plays – later revealed to be named Dusk, Dark and Dawn. The project's lead single and first song to be released from Dusk was also revealed, entitled "Aura", featuring vocals from J Warner, which was done so on 18 January 2018. It was shortly succeeded by "Coming Up" released as its second single. Dusk was released on 6 April 2018. Later on in the year, he went to work on music in Los Angeles, where he made and released two breakthrough collaborations – "Better", with American bedroom producer Clairo, and "Hurting", featuring British dance music duo AlunaGeorge. "Better" was described by Clairo as "one of the first big steps made into pop music" and also one of her first proper collaborations with another artist. "Hurting" was released a while after as the first single from Lewis' second chapter of his debut album Dark. SG Lewis said about the song, "Aluna and I met for the first time in LA earlier this year, and I was talking to her about the album concept, and in particular, Dark. Aluna has been a part of so many dance records that I love, so I knew I wanted to make a club track with her! After we ate burritos and hung out, we made "Hurting" super quickly – the whole process was super natural between the two of us, and she has such an amazing ear for production." The song was also praised when it was named Clara Amfo’s "Track of the Week". As well as being played across Radio 1 and 1xtra
