Ezekial (Zeke)
Lewis
Singer/Songwriter
"Without inspiration there is no creativity."
Born in Montgomery, Alabama Ezekiel Lewis (Zeke) knew
he was destined to be a famous musician. Zeke's interest
in music began at the early age of three with home tape
recordings. By the age of five he was singing lead in
the children's choir and also studying piano. Continuing
his involvement in music throughout his adolescent years,
Zeke made a decision to dedicate his life to making
music. With that, Zeke moved to Atlanta, Georgia to
further his career and soon developed his songwriting
skills that landed him a deal with Hitco Music Publishing.
Zeke credits his influences for his love of music and
for the development of his sound: "You must be
inspired. Without inspiration there is no creativity."
Artist such as Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones,
Antonio L.A. Reid, Kenneth ‘Babyface' Edmonds
and David Foster are among the role models that have
helped shape Zeke's musical creativity. Following in
those footsteps he states, “With every song I
write I try to outdo the last. I want my work to be
legendary." Zeke quickly became a sought after
songwriter in the Atlanta area, working with many artists
at LaFace Records including TLC, Pink and the Youngbloodz.
His affiliation with these artists opened doors for
many other projects including that of Arista-UK artists
Damage and Martay on Atlantic-UK.
Zeke's creative acclaim also landed him projects with
David Foster's company 143 Records distributed by Atlantic
Records. "I was playing songs for an artist and
they offered me a recording deal. Within a week I received
a contract for an artist deal and here we are."
After recording his album Zeke decided because of label
issues not to be an artist anymore. Zeke decided that
staying behind the scenes and writing hits was his true
calling. Following Zeke leaving 143 Records Zeke has
written for Luther Vandross Grammy award winning album
“Dance With My Father”. Zeak also worked
on Osmosis Jones Sound Track, All Saints, Patti Labelle,
Kevin Lyttle, The Mighty OJay’s, and Trey Songz.
Zeke’s talent not just includes writing but production
and vocal arrangements. Zeke got the opportunity to
produce vocal arrangements on Whitney Houston’s
2003 Chris Album “One Wish”. Zeke's future
looks brighter than ever these days. When asked how
he would like people to remember his music Zeke stated
“People just know I write my music with all sincerity.”
