Lewis Capaldi (born October 7, 1996) is a 28 year-old singer-songwriter hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. Variously described as pop, soft rock, and blue-eyed soul, Capaldi began his music career on platforms like SoundCloud and Spotify, where he released his debut single "Bruises" in 2017. By 2018, he had attracted the attention of mainstream audiences, touring with Sam Smith on "The Thrill of It All European Tour" and winning Best Acoustic Act at the 2018 Scottish Alternative Music Awards. In 2019, his debut album "Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent" topped the charts in the UK, Scotland, Ireland, and Norway. His sophomore album "Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent" followed in the spring of 2023. On June 27, 2023, shortly after completing a UK leg in support of the album, Capaldi canceled all future shows and announced an end to touring for the foreseeable future, citing the impacts of living with Tourette syndrome.
