Business Bio:

Lo*Pro's demos eventually reached Lewis, who was launching 413 with Geffen President Jordan Schur.

"I was really picky about what I brought to the table as my first band, and I found exactly what I wanted with Lo*Pro," says Lewis, who runs 413 with help from Staind guitarist Mike Mushok. "I was handed a demo that Pete and Neil made in Pete's bedroom on a computer--and it sounded better than most of the finished product being played on the radio."

Lewis's advice to the band? Surround yourself with the right people.
