Mark William Lewis

As someone who grew up exploring music, art, writing and performance in equal measure, Mark William Lewis’ latest project is about furthering the erosion of boundaries. “I think my songwriting has gotten better as I’ve stopped thinking about the distinction between poetry and music,” he says. “Writing is just writing whether I’ve got a guitar with me or not.”

That erosion of boundaries has seen Lewis’ eponymous record release become the first non film-related release on movie studio A24’s record label.

The album has been praised as straightforward, deliberately blurry and “containing whole worlds in every ellipsis”, and now Aotearoa has a chance to see and hear it performed live in two debut performances in Wellington and Auckland in April 2026.
