Damian Lewis released his acclaimed debut album Mission Creep in 2023. The album, praised by The Line of Best Fit as “beautifully written and performed” and MOJO magazine as an “authentic, rootsy debut album” showcases Lewis's soulful high tenor voice, effortlessly weaving through a rich tapestry of instrumentation.
Lewis’s musical journey traces back to his days of busking through continental Europe after leaving school—a formative experience reflected in the album's raw authenticity and heartfelt lyricism.
Collaborating with acclaimed jazz musician Giacomo Smith and a roster of talented musicians, Lewis brings a unique blend of influences to his performances. Lewis captivated audiences with his magnetic stage presence at his early shows at London’s Omeara and KOKO “It helps that the band are all insanely accomplished,” Lewis said. Packed gigs at London’s The Tabernacle and Union Chapel resulted in glowing reviews from the crowds and critics, who described Lewis as “a compelling
performer apparently in his element” (Telegraph ????) as he “wowed the crowd” (Times ????).
Damian has since played a sell-out headline UK tour and festivals, including Latitude, Wilderness, Black Deer and as part of the Jazz Voice Gala for EFG London Jazz Festival.
