About me
My name is Olly Lewis and I am a 24 year old Composer, Performer and Teacher. I have an unconditional love for music and I utilise this in order to communicate emotionally with the world.I have a First Class Honours in BA Music and an MMus in Composition.
With a friend (Alec Sleigh) I have written an original musical called The Craft of the Cooper, of which we are taking to Edinburgh Festival 2015 for a two week run between the dates of 16th-31st of August.
I am currently in an Alternative Folk Trio called Tenderlore. My singing and songwriting has led to awards (Live and Unsigned 2010), festival appearances (e.g. Glastonbury) and various support slots including the likes of Laura Marling, Dry The River, The Move, Bloc Party, The Noisettes, Zane Lowe, etc.
Due to my love for Film, Television, Games, Apps and Advertising, I wish to pursue a career in Commercial Composition.
