Previously released music
Start Again EP
Lewis released his debut EP, Start Again, in 2025. The project reflects his journey to Canada, finding his feet in a new country, building a new life and putting down roots along the way.
Each song captures a different chapter of that journey, exploring the experiences, challenges and personal growth that came with starting over.
Since its release, Lewis has continued to evolve as an artist, revisiting and reworking songs from the EP while developing a sound that feels more distinctly his own. This evolution has shaped the direction of his newer material and the next chapter of his journey as a recording artist.
Finally Feel Safe
‘Finally Feel Safe’ was the first single released by Lewis Cardinal in 2024. Written following his move to Canada to be with his wife, the song reflects on a journey through trauma, mental health and addiction, and the search for stability, belonging and peace. At its heart, it's about finding a place where you can finally feel safe, loved and at home.
