THE LOWDOWN FROM LEWIS

RR: What do you do when you’re not racing?

LH: I’m involved in the fashion world, so I go to a lot of fashion shows. And the music side, as well. Every spare day that I have, I fill it with work. I like being busy.

Tell us more about your love of music.

When I was 14, my dad was in a band and that inspired me. I played guitar and then started to deejay. I couldn’t be in a band because I was always racing. Then I wanted to study music at school, but my dad made me study history.

You spend a lot of time in the States, especially Los Angeles. What attracts you to this place?

The world is fascinated by America because everything is generally bigger and better here. And it’s the central hub of entertainment. Growing up in England watching movies, you just dream of one day going to visit those locations.
