Alice Lewis spent her early years in England. She recorded her first songs while at Paris School of Fine Arts where her work with soundtracks, installations, audio engineering and her singing practice, gradually led her towards writing music.
Later on, she was commissioned to write music for short films, dance shows and advertisements (some of which were shot by David Lynch and Patrice Leconte).
In 2004/2005 she travelled to Beijing, China, to study Peking Opera at
中国戏曲学院 Zhongguo Xiqu Xueyuan. She returned to Asia in 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan to learn the Chinese zither, Guzheng.
In 2007 she composed a third of the original soundtrack (including the end titles main song) of feature film "the Fox and the Child" by Luc Jacquet (director of worldwide success "March of the Penguins")
Her mesmerising stage performances combine an eathereal and unique voice (in the vein of Kate Bush or Julee Cruise) with amazing instruments: omnichord, harmonium, Italian organ and vintage drum machine. Her debut album, recorded in Sussex (UK) and Paris, produced by Ian Caple (Tricky, Tindersticks, Stina Nordenstam, Alain Bashung), was released in October 2010, on french record label "Naïve".
