Al Lewis Music

Al Lewis is a bilingual singer/songwriter originally from North Wales now based in Cardiff.
Al has so far released a total of 7 albums, his solo debut English language album ‘In the Wake’ was nominated for the inaugural Welsh Music Prize and his Welsh language albums have all spent multiple weeks at #1 on the BBC Cymru Welsh Language Charts.
Al’s music has gathered support and praise from eminent DJs such as Huw Stephens, Cerys Matthews, Janice Long and Dermot O’Leary (all of whom have championed Al on their BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music shows). By invitation of Bob Harris and BBC Music Introducing – Al performed a showcase at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville (USA).
Al has also opened for the legendary Jools Holland playing shows across the UK, culminating in a sold-out performance at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London.
One of Al’s biggest successes so far was his Christmas single based upon the Dylan Thomas short story, ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’. It was the first song to contain Welsh lyrics to make it on to the BBC Radio 2 playlist and was hailed by Gary Barlow as a ‘great song’.
Al is also a fervent collaborator – as one half of both the award-winning duo Lewis & Leigh with American singer/songwriter Alva Leigh whose debut album Ghost came out to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic and GLASLYN his project with Bristol soundscape artist/producer Kayla Painter.
