Conceptualized by Viacom Brand Solutions, Rayban Vh1 Global Music Xpress is India’s biggest music initiative ever. Get ready, once again, to gear up for a head banging music tour. Jayce Lewis kicks off his tour in Mumbai on 21st October and will continue to enthrall audiences in Delhi, Bangalore and Pune on 22nd, 23rd and 25th October respectively.

Jayce Lewis started his musical career as a guitarist at the tender age of 6 only to discover his over-powering musical style in the drumming world. This ex-drummer of the great rock band ‘Losing Sun’ is a born fan of dance and tribal music and has the natural ability of rhythm and picking out individual grooves. This was the making of a long career in his self taught drumming life and a journey with music that has now seen him sign with EMI Records. With Hammet of Metallica and Bryan May of Queen as musical inspirations, this drummer is all set to rock you of your feet.

The Welsh man’s current solo career is making an extraordinary impact on the music industry - being Artist of the month with Vh1, Jayce’s music style is one of a kind. One of Jayce’s signature styles of playing is his choppy accents of rhythm changes and fills. His hottest single ‘Icon’ took the rock world by storm and he is currently working on his most exciting album, ‘Chapter’, which is expected to revolutionize the world of rock!

Says Jayce Lewis “This being my first performance in India only makes this visit even more special. I’m really looking forward to sharing my new beats and some old ones with the people of India and I hope they will be well received. Indian classical influences like the ‘tabala’ are beautiful, versatile instruments and they really fascinate me. I’m sure I’ll have a lot to take back with me from this diverse Indian culture and I can’t wait to get the show on the road!”

Speaking on the initiative Ferzad Palia, Associate General Manager, Vh1 India says “Jayce Lewis is going to be a refreshing change as India is not very exposed to his unique style. That is really the aim of ‘ Rayban Vh1 Global Music Express’ and I’m certain this visit is going to be a winner.”
