I'm a 21-year-old British singer and songwriter based in San Diego. My SDMA nominated single, "People Like You", has compiled 50k streams as well as being played on BBC Radio and 91X FM. It's also a Top 3 Finalist in Song Academy's Young Songwriter Competition! I play live around San Diego including venues such as The Casbah and House of Blues.
I've been singing for twelve years and writing songs for seven years. I specialize in the indie, folk, and singer-songwriter genres. Over the years, I have created successful tracks that resonate with thousands from my home studio. From being featured on CBS 8 to playing the main stage at the House of Blues, my goal is to showcase that the humble singer-songwriter can find a place in the music industry even without a label or large studio!

Endorse Pip LewisInterview with Pip Lewis
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process depends on the job at hand. First, I'll collect all of the necessary info I need from the client to minimize the amount of revisions needed. When recording vocals, I'll take a few days to write a melody for them if necessary, and then record soon after that. My process is usually quite methodical.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I think a lot of people underestimate me because of my age – I think young minds can create a fresh perspective on music!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What kind of vibe are you going for with your track? What's your timeframe? How flexible are you with creative control?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I'd say if you're looking for someone who is communicative, polite, and who has a unique perspective on artistry, you're in the right place!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been making music in one way or another for as long as I can remember. I plan to continue to produce music, sing, play guitar, and perform for as long as people will listen.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My musical style has evolved over the years, but currently it's a very ethereal and nature driven style.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with Hozier – he has such an incredibly soulful voice and his lyrics are so profound. I'd just love to pick his brain about his creative process.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Side-chaining drums into the bass compressor literally works wonders for a mix!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I prefer to work on folk, singer-songwriter, and indie.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Communication. Whether to clients or through music, I communicate clearly.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My vocals and writing both have a sort of charm to them that is fairly unusual. Since I come from England, my accent comes through in a lot of my songs, and can really enhance the tone. I draw inspiration from many different vocalists from Phoebe Bridgers to Aretha Franklin – that range of influence is unique. My lyrics are reflective and thoughtful, they are often centered around the human experience and the way we interact with the world around us.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a home studio dedicated to recording my own music. It's not elaborate, but it produces a great sound.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I draw inspiration from a wide range of different artists and genres. Anything from Madness, to Big Mama Thornton, to Maggie Rogers!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I generally record vocals for people.
