Hewitt played music at school and drummed and played. He cites some of his influences as The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, AC / DC, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, and Can. He recalled that “beloved music” and driving a caravan trip in the car would be in time for the sounds of Bee Gees, Elton John, ELO and The Beatles.
Hewitt worked as an image maker before graduating but began training as a racing car engineer shortly after graduation. He was given the opportunity to continue training with Williams and worked on the team’s pit crew. He also worked as a drawing writer until he decided to devote himself entirely to music.
