Bio
Gordon Lewis grew up in northern Minnesota where he learned to play instruments at a young age in a bluegrass band and in his local church. He played saxophone and percussion in high school while performing in rock bands on guitar. He attended Power Chord Academy at the age of 14 in San Diego where he learned a lot about the music business and how to book shows. When he turned 17 he applied to the Perpich Center for Arts Education where he was accepted for his senior year in high school. It was there that he realized that he would want to pursue a lifelong career in music and the arts.
Artist Statement
With whatever artistic endeavor I pursue, the intention is always the same; To create work that is thought provoking, intriguing and striving toward the non-conventional. My approach to writing any piece of music begins with a few simple chords or a melody which allows me to create a foundation and develop an overall vibe for the song. Then I build upon that framework with various instrumentation and dynamics to create my desired effect. I tend to let myself follow the muse with the hope of creating something original and unique.
