(a more complete list can be found here)He has produced hundreds if not thousands of local bands and artists at his studio, Studio 132.

B.Z. Lewis grew up in his father's home studio in a small town in west Texas. B.Z. remembers being 7 years old and duplicating tapes for his father's daily radio program "The Sound of Texas", spooling 1/4 inch tapes on an Ampex reel to reel machine. It wasn't long before the studio/music bug crept into his life. About the same time, he started playing piano and later developed a love for guitar. He attended an audio engineering school in Texas, (McClennon Community College)and received his B.A. in music with an emphasis on classical guitar from the University of Texas at Austin. During his tenure with the Austin metal band "Culture Shock", he was honored as one of the best guitarists in the state of Texas by Texas Beat Magazine.

He set out for San Francisco, California in '93 to work on a film that launched his career, and in '96 he started recording bands out of his home. He also started playing in "Rubies Tattoo", a band that featured Sammy Hagar's bass player Mona Gnader. The following year he moved the studio to San Francisco, where he also started popTuna, a company that writes music for film, TV, the web, video games, and eventually adding sound design to the already impressive list of services. Between popTuna, the studio, and a lucrative publishing deal with Media Creature Music, BZ's score credits can be heard on all the major networks, several independent film scores, regional and local ad campaigns, as well as milti-iplatinum selling video game titles.

Currently B.Z. is a six time Emmy Award winning composer, a Telly winner, an ASCAP member writer and publisher, a voting member of for the grammys, and is enjoying a publishing deal with Media Creature Music in L.A.
