Life and career
Donna Lewis (born 6 August 1973) is a Welsh singer-songwriter and record producer.At the age of six, Lewis began playing the piano. Her father, an amateur jazz pianist and guitarist lent encouragement, and while still a teenager, she began composing original songs. Her formal training was at the Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, Wales, where she majored in classical composition for piano and flute. Lewis then went on to teach music for a year in Sussex before moving to Birmingham to sing in a bar band. During that time she set up a home studio and began recording demos. Before long she became a popular live attraction and circa 1993 began sending her demos to record labels.
The U.S. based Atlantic Records took an interest in Lewis and subsequently released her first single, "I Love You Always Forever", a love song which went on to become a major hit on VH1.It was also successful on U.S. radio, staying at #2 on the ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks, and spending 13 consecutive weeks at #1 on the airplay chart. It exceeded one million "spins" on radio, to claim its place in music industry history as the most-played single up to that point. The single reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart in 1996, and spent 14 weeks in the chart. It helped her debut album, ‘Now in a Minute’, to #31 in the U.S. ‘Billboard’ 200 chart, and #52 in the UK Albums Chart.It was certified platinum in the U.S.
In 1997 Lewis appeared as herself in the Season 7 episode of ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’, "The Phantom of CU".
Lewis recorded "At the Beginning" with Richard Marx for the 1997 film Anastasia. Her second LP, ‘Blue Planet’ (1998), won critical acclaim, but it was largely overlooked by the public. Although it produced a minor hit in continental Europe and Asia, "I Could Be the One", and a U.S. #1 dance single, "Love Him", Lewis parted ways with Atlantic Records and independently produced her third LP, ‘Be Still’ (2002), which featured her on an almost entirely acoustic set. During the early 2000s Lewis was featured as a guest vocalist on several trance music/house music recordings. Her fourth LP, ‘In the Pink’, was released in 2008; its first single was "Shout," which was included in the soundtrack to the Marian Quinn film ‘32A’. Lewis also sang lead vocals for her side project, Chute. which released their debut EP in April 2010. In March 2015, she released Brand New Day, her first full-length LP in nearly a decade, and is currently working on an EP with producer Ryan Farish.’Brand New Day’ was released on June 17,2016 in UK.
