Jacob Lewis (singer)
Jacob Lewis is a Canadian pop and rock singer from Butlerville, Newfoundland and Labrador, most noted as the fifth season winner of Canada's Got Talent.[1]
Lewis, who works in Newfoundland's oil and gas industry, is a father to twin boys who were born with health complications.[1] He has performed music locally in Newfoundland, and released the folk album Home Sweet Home in 2019, but faced difficulty in building a sustained music career due to his family circumstances.[2] His 2019 album included covers of the Canadian folk standards "Farewell to Nova Scotia", "The Mary Ellen Carter" and "Northwest Passage".
Lewis auditioned on Canada's Got Talent with a performance of Jon Bon Jovi's 1993 song "Bed of Roses", earning a golden buzzer from Shania Twain.[3] In the elimination round he performed Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things", winning a second golden buzzer from the judges and advancing to the finale.[4]
In the finale he performed "The Best", winning the season over second-place finishers The Martin Boys.[5] When he returned home following the finale, he was greeted by a community celebration and a motorcade escort by the Bay Roberts fire and police departments.[6]
At the end of May, he released a studio recording of "The Best" to music streaming platforms.
