Samuel George Lewis (born 9 July 1994) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He is mostly known for collaborating with many artists fromTove Lo,Dua Lipa,Nelly Furtado,Mabel,Victoria Monét,Lucky Daye,Jessie Ware,JP Cooper,Raye andRay BLK toBruno Major,Frances,Clairo andLANY.

A native ofReading, England, Lewis first became interested in music in his teens and played in several bands before he started experimenting with remixing tracks. Influenced by the introspective pop ofBon Iver andJames Blake, as well as the club-ready hip-hop of artists likeCommon,Timbaland, andThe Neptunes, Lewis began posting his own evocative, moody tracks online. He quickly built a loyal following, and eventually secured a residency DJing at Liverpool's Chibuku Club.^[2] He stated, "Being a resident DJ at Chibuku inLiverpool was fundamental. It allowed me to spend a lot of time behind the decks and see a different top DJ every week. Genre-wise, Chibuku has had everything:house,dubstep,techno,drum 'n' bass. The first night I went to,Ben Klock was playing downstairs andAndy C upstairs. There aren't many places in the world where you'd get those two on the same line-up. You have this new wave of electronic producers who are largely SoundCloud-based, making electronic music without any thought to the club. That's great. But there's so much to be learned from the old-school approach of resident DJing."^[3]

In 2014, Lewis signed his debut record deal withPMR Records, who gives a home to other artists such asJessie Ware andDisclosure, describing it as an incredibly exciting moment for him. He said, "I spent every day of the summer in my bedroom writing a load of music. My friend Grant had started managing me, and he was meeting a load of people in London. My music got sent round by some A&R's, who passed it on to the PMR guys. PMR Records was one of my favourite labels at the time, so when they called us in for a meeting I was so excited. I had no idea they were interested in signing me, but after one meeting and playing everything I had, they decided to sign me straight away!"^[4] After being signed, he grabbed the attention of Disclosure and they invited him to play at a 2,000-year-old castle inIbiza with them.^[5]

In 2015, he released his debut extended play, entitledShivers, which features guest appearances from Louis Mattrs andJP Cooper.

In 2016, he released his second extended play, entitledYours, which features its lead single and title track, "Yours", featuring un-credited vocals from rising singer-songwriterRaye. He also collaborated on songs withHoward Lawrence andGallant.

Throughout 2017, he began releasing more singles and got brought to the attention ofVirgin 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 namedDusk,Dark andDawn. The project's lead single and first song to be released fromDusk 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 producerClairo, and "Hurting", featuring British dance music duoAlunaGeorge. "Better" was described by Clairo as "one of the first big steps [she's] made into pop music" and also one of her first proper collaborations with another artist.^[6] The song was also praised when it was namedClara Amfo’s "Track of the Week". As well as being played acrossRadio 1,1xtra andBeats1, the track reached the number one spot on theiTunes Electronic Chart.

Prior to the release ofDark, SG Lewis released two more songs called "A.A.T.", featuringDrew Love, and "Again", featuringTotally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.^[7]Dark was eventually released on 9 November 2018, featuring additional collaborations from affiliateBruno Major and Dot Major.^[8]

In 2019, he released the first single, entitled "Blue", from the third and supposedly last phase of his debut albumDawn.^{[9][non-primary source needed]} The second single fromDawn, entitled "Throwaway", was released as the second collaborative track between Lewis and Clairo, after "Better". Lewis said about the song, "Clairo is one of my favourite artists to work with, and a good friend of mine" says SG: “Throwaway was written in LA one evening – we were both super tired and had some shit going on in our respective personal lives. We sat and talked for ages, and after that Throwaway flowed out in no time at all. Clairo is such a special artist and an incredible songwriter, and I’m super proud of this song."^[10]

Later on in the year, he made his second appearance atCoachella in April, where he performed alongside AlunaGeorge and Col3trane, among others. He also teased an unreleased track with Australian singerRuel, which was announced to be the third track fromDawn. It was later revealed to be called "Flames" and was released on 10 May 2019. Lewis said about the song, "I was put onto Ruel's music about 18th months ago, and watching his growth since then has been amazing. He's got such soul to his voice for someone of his age, it's crazy. "Flames" is the final preview ofDawn before the whole thing drops, and I can't wait to share the whole thing."^[11] He also announced that he was to perform inDreamland Margate in June of this year and also at Printworks in London on 1 February 2020, making it his biggest headline show to date.

Lewis' debut album,Times, was released on 19 February 2021.^[12] In fall of 2022, he embarked on a North American tour to promote his upcoming album.^[13] His second albumAudioLust & HigherLove was released on January 27, 2023.^[14]
