Bio



     Lewis Anderson has for some time been one of Music Row’s leading and most respected writers. Along with three recent hot chart singles  (I Want To Know by Mark Wills, Lost In The Feeling by Mark Chesnutt, and Steam by Ty Herndon), he has won multiple BMI awards, an NSAI song award, an NSAI President’s award, and the coveted BMI Songwriter of the Year.

     Lewis’ songs have been recorded through the years by a diverse group of artists both in country and pop. He is known for crafting songs with compelling, memorable melodies, some of which poignantly examine life. Though he often co-writes, it is his ability to successfully write a great song alone that makes him all the more unique these days in Nashville. Besides his current hits, some of Lewis’ other well-known titles include Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love, Midnight Fire, Will It Be Love By Morning, Somewhere Down The Line and You Turn The Light On.
     In addition to his songwriting accomplishments, Lewis served for five years as A&R consultant to MCA Records Nashville for noted producer Tony Brown. He also opened the first office for the Chrysalis Music Group, Inc. A strong advocate for songwriter’s rights, he served on the board of the NSAI for nine years and was integral to the changes that modernized and vitalized the organization.
     Lewis began his musical career in his home state of Louisiana, where he began at the age of 16 playing clubs, fraternities, and concerts from Florida to Oklahoma in various bands, the most notable being Swampfox. He moved at age 21 to Los Angeles and soon had his first major recordings. A longtime pro in Nashville, he continues to have a very successful career.
