George Lewis Jr. was born in the Dominican Republic, but raised in Miami before moving to Brooklyn and donning the pseudonym Twin Shadow. Creating the music that growing up in the Miami suburbs instilled in him, that of hazy summertime heat and teenage ennui, Lewis, at first, fit nicely into the trendy chillwave genre, although he has distanced himself from the style of music since. After sparking the interest of Chris Taylor, of the popular indie band Grizzly Bear, Twin Shadow released his debut album in 2010, which was produced by Taylor. Since then, Twin Shadow has quickly become a hype band on the blogosphere and amongst music connoisseurs.
