Nigel Lewis, singer, songwriter and producer , born in the island of Tobago, Nigel’s musical roots came from his father who was a jazz bassist and his mother who was an international dancer. Since the tender age of seven, Nigel sought refuge from hardships by imposing his self made security blanket called music where he draws from his personal triumphs. Nigel’s main source of inspiration comes from his relationship with God.” As a musician we have access to millions of ears and that is something he never takes for granted. Musicians have the power to inspire and inform the people. Nigel loves to interact with people, which is why his songs are known as call and response music. These types of songs require the audience to take part in the songs and enjoy themselves”.
Nigel became a household name when he swept the Caribbean scene with his first hit “Movin” in 1996. He achieved the highest musical honor in Trinidad and Tobago by becoming that year’s Road March King for the most played song on the road for carnival. The following year Nigel’s mega hit “Follow the Leader” planted a seed that is still growing in 2008 with over 500,000 copies sold.
With no formal education in music Lewis taught himself how to play six instruments which is useful when doing studio production or leading his band. While his dynamic live performances have captivated audiences worldwide, his music gives listeners food for the soul. Nigel has always been willing to be the voice of the people. By the time Nigel was fourteen he had written and sung a song for the Prime Minister of his country, addressing the poor living conditions in his hometown of Toco. Shortly after Nigel’s performance the poverty stricken town of Toco saw improvements. Today, Nigel is still bustling with energy as a strong performer. He continues to travel across the world with his band “Sound Mind” entertaining the people and leaving a symbol of excellence wherever he goes. Nigel’s seventh and eighth albums showcase his talent as a singer, songwriter and producer. In 2008 Nigel has received eight nominations for his album “Unlock the block” from the Marlin awards (Caribbean version of the Stella awards) held in March 2009, which he won 2 awards.
