Dean Lewis launched his career with his single ‘Waves’ in 2017. The track went on to become the second biggest selling single of the year in his home country as well as achieving 4 x Platinum sales in Australia alone. ‘Waves’ was nominated for 2 x APRA Awards, 5 x ARIA Awards and appeared on cult programs like Suits, Riverdale, and Grey’s Anatomy. ‘Waves’ was the first single to be released from his debut EP ‘Same Kind of Different’ which also bore additional hit singles ‘Need You Now’ (Gold) and ‘Lose My Mind’ (Platinum).
